[PATCH] D53154: [CodeGen] Handle extern references to OBJC_CLASS_$_*

Some ObjC users declare a `extern` variable named `OBJC_CLASS_$_Foo`, then use it's address as a `Class`. I.e., one could define `isInstanceOfF`:

  BOOL isInstanceOfF(id c) {
    extern void OBJC_CLASS_$_F;
    return [c class] == (Class)&OBJC_CLASS_$_F;
  }

This leads to asserts in clang CodeGen if there is an `@implementation` of `F` in the same TU as an instance of this pattern, because CodeGen assumes that a variable named OBJC_CLASS_$_* has the right type. This patch fixes the problem by RAUWing the old (incorrectly typed) global with a new global, then removing the old global.

I know almost nothing about Objective-C runtime stuff, so take this patch with a grain of salt!
