Add a "don't override" mapping for -fvisibility-from-dllstorageclass (#74629)
`-fvisibility-from-dllstorageclass` allows for overriding the visibility
of globals from their DLL storage class. The visibility to apply can be
customised for the different classes of globals via a set of dependent
options that specify the mapping values:
- `-fvisibility-dllexport=<value>`
- `-fvisibility-nodllstorageclass=<value>`
- `-fvisibility-externs-dllimport=<value>`
- `-fvisibility-externs-nodllstorageclass=<value>`
Currently, one of the existing LLVM visibilities, `hidden`, `protected`,
`default`, can be used as a mapping value. This change adds a new
mapping value: `keep`, which specifies that the visibility should not be
overridden for that class of globals. The behaviour of
`-fvisibility-from-dllstorageclass` is otherwise unchanged and existing
uses of this set of options will be unaffected.
The background to this change is that currently the PS4 and PS5
compilers effectively ignore visibility - dllimport/export is the
supported method for export control in C/C++ source code. Now, we would
like to support visibility attributes and options in our frontend, in
addition to dllimport/export. To support this, we will override the
visibility of globals with explicit dllimport/export annotations but use
the `keep` setting for globals which do not have an explicit
dllimport/export.
There are also some minor improvements to the existing options:
- Make the `LANGOPS` `BENIGN` as they don't involve the AST.
- Correct/clarify the help text for the options.
