[LTO] Make local linkage GlobalValue in non-prevailing COMDAT available_externally

For a local linkage GlobalObject in a non-prevailing COMDAT, it remains defined while its
leader has been made available_externally. This violates the COMDAT rule that
its members must be retained or discarded as a unit.

To fix this, update the regular LTO change D34803 to track local linkage
GlobalValues, and port the code to ThinLTO (GlobalAliases are not handled.)

This fixes two problems.

(a) `__cxx_global_var_init` in a non-prevailing COMDAT group used to
linger around (unreferenced, hence benign), and is now correctly discarded.
```
int foo();
inline int v = foo();
```

(b) Fix https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58215:
as a size optimization, we place private `__profd_` in a COMDAT with a
`__profc_` key. When FuncImport.cpp makes `__profc_` available_externally due to
a non-prevailing COMDAT, `__profd_` incorrectly remains private. This change
makes the `__profd_` available_externally.
