Summary:
We have always speculatively promoted all renamable local values
(except const non-address taken variables) for both the exporting
and importing module. We would then internalize them back based on
the ThinLink results if they weren't actually exported. This is
inefficient, and results in unnecessary renames. It also meant we
had to check the non-renamability of a value in the summary, which
was already checked during function importing analysis in the ThinLink.
Made renameModuleForThinLTO (which does the promotion/renaming) instead
use the index when exporting, to avoid unnecessary renames/promotions.
For importing modules, we can simply promoted all values as any local
we import by definition is exported and needs promotion.
This required changes to the method used by the FunctionImport pass
(only invoked from 'opt' for testing) and when invoked from llvm-link,
since neither does a ThinLink. We simply conservatively mark all locals
in the index as promoted, which preserves the current aggressive
promotion behavior.
I also needed to change an llvm-lto based test where we had previously
been aggressively promoting values that weren't importable (aliasees),
but now will not promote.

Summary:
When we have an aliasee that is linkonce, while we can't convert
the non-prevailing copies to available_externally, we still need to
convert the prevailing copy to weak. If a reference to the aliasee
is exported, not converting a copy to weak will result in undefined
references when the linkonce is removed in its original module.
Add a new test and update existing tests.

We currently do not touch a symbol's linkage in the case where a definition
has a single copy. However, this code is effectively unnecessary: either
the definition is not exported, in which case the internalize phase sets
its linkage to internal, or it is exported, in which case we need to promote
linkage to weak. Those two cases are already handled by existing code.
I believe that the only real functional change here is in the case where we
have a single definition which does not prevail (e.g. because the definition
in a native object file prevails). In that case we now lower linkage to
available_externally following the existing code path for that case.
As a result we can remove the isExported function parameter from the
thinLTOResolveWeakForLinkerInIndex function.

This tests the effect of both promotion and internalization on a module,
and helps show that D21883 is NFC wrt promotion+internalization.

There is not point in importing a "weak" or a "linkonce" function
since we won't be able to inline it anyway.
We already had a targeted check for WeakAny, this is using the
same check on GlobalValue as the inline, i.e.
isMayBeOverriddenLinkage()

This help to streamline the process of handling importing since
we don't need to special case alias everywhere: just like
linkonce_odr function, make sure at least one alias is emitted
by turning it weak.
