Stop increasing alignment of externally-visible globals on ELF
platforms.
With ELF, the alignment of a global variable in a shared library will
get copied into an executables linked against it, if the executable even
accesss the variable. So, it's not possible to implicitly increase
alignment based on access patterns, or you'll break existing binaries.
This happened to affect libc++'s std::cout symbol, for example. See
thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/45311
(This is a re-commit of r257719, without the bug reported in
PR26144. I've tweaked the code to not assert-fail in
enforceKnownAlignment when computeKnownBits doesn't recurse far enough
to find the underlying Alloca/GlobalObject value.)
