This is similar to r322317, but for visibility. It is not as neat
because we have to special case extern_weak.
The idea is the same as the previous change, make the transition to
explicit dso_local easier for the frontends. With this they only have
to add dso_local to symbols where we need some external information to
decide if it is dso_local (like it being part of an ELF executable).

While updating clang tests for having clang set dso_local I noticed
that:
- There are *a lot* of tests to update.
- Many of the updates are redundant.
They are redundant because a GV is "obviously dso_local". This patch
starts formalizing that a bit by requiring that internal and private
GVs be dso_local too. Since they all are, we don't have to print
dso_local to the textual representation, making it a bit more compact
and easier to read.

Summary:
We were reinvoking exportGlobalInModule numerous times redundantly.
No need to re-export globals referenced by a global that was already
imported from its module. This resulted in a large speedup in the thin
link for a big application, particularly when importing aggressiveness
was cranked up.
