For x86 targets, do not do sibling call optimization when materializing
the callee's address would require a GOT relocation. We can still do
tail calls to internal functions, hidden functions, and protected
functions, because they do not require this kind of relocation. It is
still possible to get GOT relocations when the user explicitly asks for
it with musttail or -tailcallopt, both of which are supposed to
guarantee TCO.

clang optimizes tail calls, as in this example:
int foo(void);
int bar(void) {
return foo();
}
where the call is transformed to:
calll .L0$pb
.L0$pb:
popl %eax
.Ltmp0:
addl $_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+(.Ltmp0-.L0$pb), %eax
movl foo@GOT(%eax), %eax
popl %ebp
jmpl *%eax # TAILCALL
However, the GOT references must all be resolved at dlopen() time, and so this
approach cannot be used with lazy dynamic linking (e.g. using RTLD_LAZY), which
usually populates the PLT with stubs that perform the actual resolving.
This patch changes X86TargetLowering::LowerCall() to skip tail call
optimization, if the called function is a global or external symbol.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.
