If the Rust LLVM fork is used, enable the -mergefunc-use-aliases
flag, which will create aliases for merged functions, rather than
inserting a call from one to the other.

A number of codegen tests needed to be adjusted, because functions
that previously fell below the thunk limit are now being merged.
Merging is prevented in various ways now.

I expect that this is going to break something, somewhere, because
it isn't able to deal with aliases properly, but we won't find out
until we try :)

This fixes #52651.

Some nits about some of the updated tests, otherwise LGTM.

cc @rust-lang/compiler for the possibility of regressions from using aliases instead of thunks. Wouldn't mind someone rubberstamping that, otherwise r=me.

I'm surprised we don't have this function already anywhere 🤔

Somewhat surprisingly, there is only a single use of LLVM_RUSTLLVM apart from the one introduced here. I guess the need to know about this from Rust code never came up.

I could also change the code to check for LLVM 8.0 instead and save this function. I only went for the RUSTLLVM check here because this is based on a cherry-picked commit, but ultimately checking for 8.0 would achieve the same and save some churn down the line.

I've changed the other test to use no-prepopulate-passes, but not sure on this one, as it explicitly specifies -O.

I went ahead and changed this one as well, as I really don't see a reason for it to use -O.

Oh, I missed the -O, but I agree it doesn't seem relevant to the test. Still, cc @alexcrichton in case they remember why they wrote the test that way.

Hm I'm not sure! Me being lazy with the copy/paste is the most likely reason, seems fine to switch it now!

r=me after squashing if travis passes

If the Rust LLVM fork is used, enable the -mergefunc-use-aliases
flag, which will create aliases for merged functions, rather than
inserting a call from one to the other.

A number of codegen tests needed to be adjusted, because functions
that previously fell below the thunk limit are now being merged.
Merging is prevented either using -C no-prepopulate-passes, or by
making the functions non-identical.

I expect that this is going to break something, somewhere, because
it isn't able to deal with aliases properly, but we won't find out
until we try :)

This fixes rust-lang#52651.

name-anon-globals should always be run at the very end of the pass
pipeline, as optimization passes (in particular mergefunc) may
introduce new anonymous globals.

I believe we did not run into this earlier because it requires the
rather specific combination of a) mergefunc merging two weak functions
b) compilation not using thinlto.

We were running name-anon-globals before optimization passes instead of after... That covers the anon globals we introduce ourselves, but not those added by mergefuncs.

Add a target option "merge-functions", and a corresponding -Z flag (works around rust-lang#57356)

This commit adds a target option "merge-functions", which takes values in ("disabled", "trampolines", or "aliases" (default is "aliases")), to allow targets to opt out of the MergeFunctions LLVM pass. Additionally, the latest commit also adds an optional -Z flag, "merge-functions", which takes the same values and has precedence over the target option when both are specified.

This works around rust-lang#57356.

cc @eddyb @japaric @oli-obk @nox @nagisa

Also thanks to @denzp and @gnzlbg for discussing this on rust-cuda!

### Motivation

Basically, the problem is that the MergeFunctions pass, which rustc currently enables by default at -O2 and -O3 [1], and `extern "ptx-kernel"` functions (specific to the NVPTX target) are currently not compatible with each other. If the MergeFunctions pass is allowed to run, rustc can generate invalid PTX assembly (i.e. a PTX file that is not accepted by the native PTX assembler `ptxas`). Therefore we would like a way to opt out of the MergeFunctions pass, which is what our target option does.

### Related work

The current behavior of rustc is to enable MergeFunctions at -O2 and -O3 [1], and also to enable the use of function aliases within MergeFunctions [2] [3]. MergeFunctions seems to have some benefits, such as reducing code size and fixing a crash [4], which is why it is enabled. However, MergeFunctions both with and without function aliases is incompatible with the NVPTX target; a more detailed example for both cases is given below.

clang's "solution" is to have a "-fmerge-functions" flag that opts in to the MergeFunctions pass, but it is not enabled by default.

### Examples/more details

Consider an example Rust lib using `extern "ptx-kernel"` functions: https://github.com/peterhj/nvptx-mergefunc-bug/blob/master/nocore.rs. If we try to compile this with nightly rustc, we get the following compiler error:

    LLVM ERROR: Module has aliases, which NVPTX does not support.

This error happens because: (1) functions `foo` and `bar` have the same body, so are candidates to be merged by MergeFunctions; and (2) rustc configures MergeFunctions to generate function aliases using the "mergefunc-use-aliases" LLVM option [2] [3], but the NVPTX backend does not support those aliases.

Okay, so we can try omitting "mergefunc-use-aliases", and then rustc will happily emit PTX assembly: https://github.com/peterhj/nvptx-mergefunc-bug/blob/master/nocore-mergefunc-nousealiases-bad.ptx. However, this PTX is invalid! When we try to assemble it with `ptxas` (I'm on the CUDA 9.2 toolchain), we get an assembler error:

    ptxas nocore-mergefunc-nousealiases-bad.ptx, line 38; error   : Illegal call target, device function expected
    ptxas fatal   : Ptx assembly aborted due to errors

What's happening is that MergeFunctions rewrites the `bar` function to call `foo`. However, directly calling an `extern "ptx-kernel"` function from another `extern "ptx-kernel"` is wrong.

If we disable the MergeFunctions pass from running at all, rustc generates correct PTX assembly: https://github.com/peterhj/nvptx-mergefunc-bug/blob/master/nocore-nomergefunc-ok.ptx
