This is a partial revert of r244615 (http://reviews.llvm.org/D11942),
which caused a major regression in debug info quality.
Turning the artificial __MergedGlobal symbols into private symbols
(l__MergedGlobal) means that the linker will not include them in the
symbol table of the final executable. Without a symbol table entry
dsymutil is not be able to process the debug info for any of the
merged globals and thus drops the debug info for all of them.
This patch is enabling the old behavior for all MachO targets while
leaving all other targets unaffected.

Other objects can never reference the MergedGlobals symbol so external linkage
is never needed. Using private instead of internal linkage means the object is
more similar to what it looks like when global merging is not enabled, with
the only difference being that the merged variables are addressed indirectly
relative to the start of the section they are in.
Also add aliases for merged variables with internal linkage, as this also makes
the object be more like what it is when they are not merged.

Instead of merging everything together, look at the users of
GlobalVariables, and try to group them by function, to create
sets of globals used "together".
Using that information, a less-aggressive alternative is to keep merging
everything together *except* globals that are only ever used alone, that
is, those for which it's clearly non-profitable to merge with others.
In my testing, grouping by Function is too aggressive, but grouping by
BasicBlock is too conservative. Anything in-between isn't trivially
available, so stick with Function grouping for now.
cl::opts are added for testing; both enabled by default.
A few of the testcases aren't testing the merging proper, but just
various edge cases when merging does occur. Update them to use the
previous grouping behavior. Also, one of the tests is unrelated to
GlobalMerge; change it accordingly.
While there, switch to r234666' flags rather than the brutal -O3.

The pass used to be enabled by default with CodeGenOpt::Less (-O1).
This is too aggressive, considering the pass indiscriminately merges
all globals together.
Currently, performance doesn't always improve, and, on code that uses
few globals (e.g., the odd file- or function- static), more often than
not is degraded by the optimization. Lengthy discussion can be found
on llvmdev (AArch64-focused; ARM has similar problems):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2015-February/082800.html
Also, it makes tooling and debuggers less useful when dealing with
globals and data sections.
GlobalMerge needs to better identify those cases that benefit, and this
will be done separately. In the meantime, move the pass to run with
-O3 rather than -O1, on both ARM and AArch64.

already makes the assumption, which is correct on ARM, that a type's alignment is
less than its alloc size. This improves codegen with Clang (which inserts a lot of
extraneous alignment specifiers) and fixes <rdar://problem/9695089>.
