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 check is not only unnecessary, it can produce the wrong result. If we
are linking a single module and it has an exported linkonce symbol, we need
to promote to weak in order to avoid PR19901-style problems.

Summary:
Ensure we keep prevailing copy of LinkOnceAny by converting it to
WeakAny.
Rename odr_resolution test to the now more appropriate weak_resolution
(weak in the linker sense includes linkonce).

Move the now index-based ODR resolution and internalization routines out
of ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp and into either LTO.cpp (index-based
analysis) or FunctionImport.cpp (index-driven optimizations).
This is to enable usage by other linkers.

Moved the ModuleLoader and supporting helper loadModuleFromBuffer out of
ThinLTOCodeGenerator and into new LTO.h/LTO.cpp files. This is in
preparation for a patch that will utilize these in the gold-plugin.
Note that there are some other pending patches (D20268 and D20290) that
also plan to refactor common interfaces and functionality into this same
pair of new files.
