[CodeGen] Initialize large arrays by copying from a global

Currently, clang compiles explicit initializers for array
elements into series of store instructions. For large arrays of
built-in types this results in bloated output code and
significant amount of time spent on the instruction selection
phase. This patch fixes the issue by initializing such arrays
with global constants that store the binary image of the
initializer.
