Fangrui Song c6692f819e [GlobalOpt] Don't replace alias with aliasee if either alias/aliasee may be preemptible
Generalize D99629 for ELF. A default visibility non-local symbol is preemptible
in a -shared link. `isInterposable` is an insufficient condition.

Moreover, a non-preemptible alias may be referenced in a sub constant expression
which intends to lower to a PC-relative relocation. Replacing the alias with a
preemptible aliasee may introduce a linker error.

Respect dso_preemptable and suppress optimization to fix the abose issues. With
the change, `alias = 345` will not be rewritten to use aliasee in a `-fpic`
compile.
```
int aliasee;
extern int alias __attribute__((alias("aliasee"), visibility("hidden")));
void foo() { alias = 345; } // intended to access the local copy
```

While here, refine the condition for the alias as well.

For some binary formats like COFF, `isInterposable` is a sufficient condition.
But I think canonicalization for the changed case has little advantage, so I
don't bother to add the `Triple(M.getTargetTriple()).isOSBinFormatELF()` or
`getPICLevel/getPIELevel` complexity.

For instrumentations, it's recommended not to create aliases that refer to
globals that have a weak linkage or is preemptible. However, the following is
supported and the IR needs to handle such cases.
```
int aliasee __attribute__((weak));
extern int alias __attribute__((alias("aliasee")));
```

There are other places where GlobalAlias isInterposable usage may need to be
fixed.
