[ThinLTO] Handle chains of aliases

At -O0, globalopt is not run during the compile step, and we can have a
chain of an alias having an immediate aliasee of another alias. The
summaries are constructed assuming aliases in a canonical form
(flattened chains), and as a result only the base object but no
intermediate aliases were preserved.

Fix by adding a pass that canonicalize aliases, which ensures each
alias is a direct alias of the base object.
