With multi-threaded IRGen, the global variables associated with "once"
initialization tokens were not getting colocated with their actual
global variables, which caused the initialization code to get split
across different files. This issue manifest as autolinking errors in
some projects.

When generating dead stub methods for vtable entries, we should not
attach COMDATs to their definitions. This is because such stubs may be
referenced only through aliases, and the presence of a COMDAT on the
stub definition would cause the aliased symbol, we want to keep, to be
discarded from the symbol table when other object files also have a
dead stub method.
Given the following two object files generated:
```mermaid
graph TD
subgraph O0[A.swift.o]
subgraph C0[COMDAT Group swift_dead_method_stub]
D0_0["[Def] swift_dead_method_stub"]
end
S0_0["[Symbol] swift_dead_method_stub"] --> D0_0
S1["[Symbol] C1.dead"] --alias--> D0_0
end
subgraph O1[B.swift.o]
subgraph C1[COMDAT Group swift_dead_method_stub]
D0_1["[Def] swift_dead_method_stub"]
end
S0_1["[Symbol] swift_dead_method_stub"] --> D0_1
S2["[Symbol] C2.beef"] --alias--> D0_1
end
```
When linking these two object files, the linker will pick one of the
COMDAT groups of `swift_dead_method_stub`. The other COMDAT group will be
discarded, along with all symbols aliased to the discarded definition,
even though those aliased symbols (`C1.dead` and `C2.beef`) are the
ones we want to keep to construct vtables.
This change stops attaching COMDATs to dead stub method definitions.
This effectively only affects WebAssembly targets because MachO's
`supportsCOMDAT` returns false, and COFF targets don't use
`linkonce_odr` for dead stub methods.
The COMDAT was added in 7e8f782457
Removes the underscored prefixes from the @_section and @_used attributes, making them public as @section and @used respectively. The SymbolLinkageMarkers experimental feature has been removed as these attributes are now part of the standard language. Implemented expression syntactic checking rules per SE-0492.
Major parts:
- Renamed @_section to @section and @_used to @used
- Removed the SymbolLinkageMarkers experimental feature
- Added parsing support for the old underscored names with deprecation warnings
- Updated all tests and examples to use the new attribute names
- Added syntactic validation for @section to align with SE-0492 (reusing the legality checker by @artemcm)
- Changed @DebugDescription macro to explicitly use a tuple type instead of type inferring it, to comply with the expression syntax rules
- Added a testcase for the various allowed and disallowed syntactic forms, `test/ConstValues/SectionSyntactic.swift`.
IRGen introduces the symbol _swift_dead_method_stub for dead vtable
entries to point to. This symbol was given internal linkage, which
would result in multiply-defined symbols when combined with Embedded
Swift's use of aggressive CMO. Switch to linkonce_odr hidden linkage
so multiple versions of this symbol can be coalesced by the linker
(and dropped if not needed).

The intent for `@inline(always)` is to act as an optimization control.
The user can rely on inlining to happen or the compiler will emit an error
message.
Because function values can be dynamic (closures, protocol/class lookup)
this guarantee can only be upheld for direct function references.
In cases where the optimizer can resolve dynamic function values the
attribute shall be respected.

Lazy emission of SIL global variables caused us to go through the
creation of two different LLVM struct types for the same
initialization, tripping an assertion in LLVM. Cache it along with
other information about the static-initialized object rather than
rebuilding it.
Also fix the lazy_globals test to account for the laziness,
generalizing it to also run on arm64 so I won't miss it locally.
Delay the emission of SIL global variables that aren't externally
visible until they are actually used. This is the same lazy emission
approach that we use for a number of other entities, such as SIL
functions.

When Embedded Swift emits a symbol that was imported from another
module, ensure that the symbol is emitted as a weak definition. This
way, importing the same module (and using its symbol) into several
different modules doesn't cause duplicate-symbol errors at link time.
Rather, the linker will merge the different symbol definitions. This
makes Embedded Swift libraries work without resorting to
`-mergeable-symbols` or `-emit-empty-object-file`.
When statically linking the standard library ensure that we emit the
well known metadata and accessors with internal linkage. This fixes a
number of warnings about incorrect DLL storage when building Foundation
on Windows for static linking.
Unforunately, x86 ELF linkers like to optimize GOTPCREL relocations by
replacing `mov` instructions that go via the GOT with `lea` instructions
that do not.
That would be fine, but they aren't very selective and will happily
perform this transformation in non-code sections if they think that
the bytes before a relocation look like a `mov` instruction.
This corrupts our metadata.

Initially this declaration is going to be used to determine
per-file default actor isolation i.e. `using @MainActor` and
`using nonisolated` but it could be extended to support other
file-global settings in the future.
Raw identifiers are backtick-delimited identifiers that can contain any
non-identifier character other than the backtick itself, CR, LF, or other
non-printable ASCII code units, and which are also not composed entirely
of operator characters.
We previously did not properly compute the link info for type metadata
accessor. This becomes a problem for metadata accessors which are
canonically remote (e.g. the type metadata accessor for `NSError`). This
fixes the incorrect DLLStorage that was being attributed to these
functions.
