Currently, `__constant__` variables do not get unconditionally marked as
`constant` in IR, which seems a bit odd given their definition. This is
generally inconsequential for NVPTX/AMDGPU, since said variables get
emitted in the constant address space for those BEs. However, it is
potentially significant for e.g. HIP-on-SPIR-V cases, as SPIR-V does not
allow casts to/from the constant AS (`UniformConstant`), which forces
`__constant__` variables to be emitted in the global AS, thus making IR
constness meaningful.
CUDA requires that static variables be visible to the host when
offloading. However, The standard semantics of a stiatc variable dictate
that it should not be visible outside of the current file. In order to
access it from the host we need to perform "externalization" on the
static variable on the device. This requires generating a semi-unique
name that can be affixed to the variable as to not cause linker errors.
This is currently done using the CUID functionality, an MD5 hash value
set up by the clang driver. This allows us to achieve is mostly unique
ID that is unique even between multiple compilations of the same file.
However, this is not always availible. Instead, this patch uses the
unique ID from the file to generate a unique symbol name. This will
create a unique name that is consistent between the host and device side
compilations without requiring the CUID to be entered by the driver. The
one downside to this is that we are no longer stable under multiple
compilations of the same file. However, this is a very niche use-case
and is not supported by Nvidia's CUDA compiler so it likely to be good
enough.

This patch is a continuation of https://reviews.llvm.org/D123353.
Not only kernels in anonymous namespace, but also template
kernels with template arguments in anonymous namespace
need to be externalized.
To be more generic, this patch checks the linkage of a kernel
assuming the kernel does not have __global__ attribute. If
the linkage is internal then clang will externalize it.
This patch also fixes the postfix for externalized symbol
since nvptx does not allow '.' in symbol name.

Fixes: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54560
This adds -no-opaque-pointers to clang tests whose output will
change when opaque pointers are enabled by default. This is
intended to be part of the migration approach described in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/enabling-opaque-pointers-by-default/61322/9.
The patch has been produced by replacing %clang_cc1 with
%clang_cc1 -no-opaque-pointers for tests that fail with opaque
pointers enabled. Worth noting that this doesn't cover all tests,
there's a remaining ~40 tests not using %clang_cc1 that will need
a followup change.

NVPTX does not allow dots in the identifier, so ptxas errors out with
fatal : Parsing error near '.static': syntax error
because it parses .static as a directive. Avoid this problem by using
two underscores, similar to what OpenMP does for outlined functions.

`clang -fpic -fno-semantic-interposition` may set dso_local on variables for -fpic.
GCC folks consider there are 'address interposition' and 'semantic interposition',
and 'disabling semantic interposition' can optimize function calls but
cannot change variable references to use local aliases
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100483).
This patch removes dso_local for variables in
`clang -fpic -fno-semantic-interposition` mode so that the built shared objects can
work with copy relocations. Building llvm-project tiself with
-fno-semantic-interposition (D102453) should now be safe with trunk Clang.
Example:
```
// a.c
int var;
int *addr() { return var; }
// old: cannot be interposed
movslq .Lvar$local(%rip), %rax
// new: can be interposed
movq var@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
movslq (%rax), %rax
```
The local alias lowering for `GlobalVariable`s is kept in case there is a
future option allowing local aliases.

Currently clang does not emit device template variables
instantiated only in host functions, however, nvcc is
able to do that:
https://godbolt.org/z/fneEfferY
This patch fixes this issue by refactoring and extending
the existing mechanism for emitting static device
var ODR-used by host only. Basically clang records
device variables ODR-used by host code and force
them to be emitted in device compilation. The existing
mechanism makes sure these device variables ODR-used
by host code are added to llvm.compiler-used, therefore
they are guaranteed not to be deleted.
It also fixes non-ODR-use of static device variable by host code
causing static device variable to be emitted and registered,
which should not.

For -fgpu-rdc mode, static device vars in different TU's may have the same name.
To support accessing file-scope static device variables in host code, we need to give them
a distinct name and external linkage. This can be done by postfixing each static device variable with
a distinct CUID (Compilation Unit ID) hash.
Since the static device variables have different name across compilation units, now we let
them have external linkage so that they can be looked up by the runtime.
