Slava Pestov c857a480e1 SIL: Introduce SILLinkage::PublicNonABI ...

This is going to be used for "always emit into client" functions,
such as default argument generators and stored property
initializers.

- In dead function elimination, these functions behave identically to
  public functions, serving as "anchors" for the mark-and-sweep
  analysis.

- There is no external variant of this linkage, because external
  declarations can use HiddenExternal linkage -- the definition should
  always be emitted by another translation unit in the same Swift
  module.

- When deserialized, they receive shared linkage, because we want the
  linker to coalesce multiple copies of the same deserialized
  definition if it was deserialized from multiple translation units
  in the same Swift module.

- When IRGen emits a definition with this linkage, it receives the
  same LLVM-level linkage as a hidden definition, ensuring it does not
  have a public entry point.
