[PATCH] CodeGen: Emit globals with a constant initializer but no definition as available_externally.

[Richard Smith]

  Patch looks good to me. Just one more thing (hopefully...): does this behave correctly if the global variable lifetime-extends a temporary? Given:

    struct Q { int &&r; };
    struct S {
      static constexpr Q q = { 0 };
    };
    int k = S::q.r;

  ... how do we emit `@_ZN1S1qE` and `@_ZGRN1S1qE`?

----------------
Can you find a better name for this function? It returns `true` for variables that we shouldn't emit at all, which makes me uneasy. Maybe just inline it into its only call site (which already has a comment describing exactly what this code does)?
