  -----------
  Introduce @llvm.threadlocal.address intrinsic to access TLS variable

This belongs to a series of patches which try to solve the thread
identification problem in coroutines. See
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/address-thread-identification-problems-with-coroutine/62015
for a full background.

The problem consists of two concrete problems: TLS variable and readnone
functions. This patch tries to convert the TLS problem to readnone
problem by converting the access of TLS variable to an intrinsic which
is marked as readnone.

The readnone problem would be addressed in following patches.
