Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.
It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:
* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.
This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.

specific code paths.
This allows us to write code like:
if (__nvvm_reflect("FOO"))
// Do something
else
// Do something else
and compile into a library, then give "FOO" a value at kernel
compile-time so the check becomes a no-op.
