Pirama Arumuga Nainar d61dc6f44b [LTO] Drop non-prevailing definitions only if linkage is not local or appending
Summary:
This fixes PR 37422

In ELF, non-weak symbols can also be non-prevailing.  In this particular
PR, the __llvm_profile_* symbols are non-prevailing but weren't getting
dropped - causing multiply-defined errors with lld.

Also add a test, strong_non_prevailing.ll, to ensure that multiple
copies of a strong symbol are dropped.

To fix the test regressions exposed by this fix,
- do not mark prevailing copies for symbols with 'appending' linkage.
There's no one prevailing copy for such symbols.
- fix the prevailing version in dead-strip-fulllto.ll
- explicitly pass exported symbols to llvm-lto in fumcimport.ll and
funcimport_var.ll
