We need this because that global state includes tables like llvm[.compiler].used
which would otherwise be sorely missed.
This fixes an issue of the clang importer that would cause us to fail whenever
we imported a function (say it is marked as static inline) that performs an
objective-c method call and we optimize the code. The optimizer would not see
the objective-c selector global variable (which is marked private) as being
"used by unkown i.e the objc runtime" and would rightly assume it could
propagate the value of the global variable's initializer value as a constant to
loads of the global variable.
Now we call the ClangCodeGenerators translation unit finalization code which
will emit these tables and other module flags. We need to take care that we
merge those datastrutures with datastructures that we emit from swift's IRGen.

and link it properly. This is needed to embed LLVM bitcode sections
in the standard library and overlays. The linker doesn't support
embedded bitcode and reexport flags (among others).
