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.

the global variables. We partition the set of globals by their address space, and apply the same the trasnformation as before to merge them.
