David Blaikie e204899c29 ThinLTO: Don't import aliases of any kind (even linkonce_odr)
Summary:
Until a more advanced version of importing can be implemented for
aliases (one that imports an alias as an available_externally definition
of the aliasee), skip the narrow subset of cases that was possible but
came at a cost: aliases of linkonce_odr functions could be imported
because the linkonce_odr function could be safely duplicated from the
source module. This came/comes at the cost of not being able to 'home'
imported linkonce functions (they had to be emitted linkonce_odr in all
the destination modules (even if they weren't used by an alias) rather
than as available_externally - causing extra object size).

Tangentially, this also was the only reason ThinLTO would emit multiple
CUs in to the resulting DWARF - which happens to be a problem for
Fission (there's a fix for this in GDB but not released yet, etc).
(actually it's not the only reason - but I'm sending a patch to fix the
other reason shortly)

There's no reason to believe this particularly narrow alias importing
was especially/meaningfully important, only that it was /possible/ to
implement in this way. When a more general solution is done, it should
still satisfy the DWARF concerns above, since the import will still be
available_externally, and thus not create extra CUs.

Since now all aliases are treated the same, I removed/simplified some
test cases since they were testing corner cases where there are no
longer any corners.
