[ELF] Add -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions
This option is a subset of -Bsymbolic-functions. It applies to STB_GLOBAL
STT_FUNC definitions.
The address of a vague linkage function (STB_WEAK STT_FUNC, e.g. an inline
function, a template instantiation) seen by a -Bsymbolic-functions linked
shared object may be different from the address seen from outside the shared
object. Such cases are uncommon. (ELF/Mach-O programs may use
`-fvisibility-inlines-hidden` to break such pointer equality. On Windows,
correct dllexport and dllimport are needed to make pointer equality work.
Windows link.exe enables /OPT:ICF by default so different inline functions may
have the same address.)
```
// a.cc -> a.o -> a.so (-Bsymbolic-functions)
inline void f() {}
void *g() { return (void *)&f; }
// b.cc -> b.o -> exe
// The address is different!
inline void f() {}
```
-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions is a safer (C++ conforming) subset of
-Bsymbolic-functions, which can make such programs work.
Implementations usually emit a vague l...
