Currently, the precense of the OpenMP target declare metadata requires that we always codegen a global declaration. This is undesirable in the case that we could defer or omit this declaration as is common with unused extern variables. This is important as it allows us, in the runtime, to rely on static linking semantics to omit unused symbols so they are not included when the user links it in. This patch changes the check for always emitting these variables. Because of this we also need to extend this logic to the generation of the offloading entries. This has the result of derring the offload entry generation to the canonical definitoin. So we are effectively assuming whoever owns the storage for this variable will perform that operation. This makes an exception for `link` attributes as those require their own special handling. Let me know if this is sound in the implementation, I do not have the largest view of the standards here.
