[PATCH] D103495: [static initializers] Don't put ordered dynamic initializers of static variables into global_ctors

> The LLVM IR langref says that llvm.global_ctors are called in ascending priority order, and the order between initializers is not defined. That's not very helpful and often doesn't reflect reality. I wonder if we could do two things, perhaps separately:

Is there anything preventing us from using the existing priority field to define the order instead of introducing the order among initializers with the same priority? If we go with 1., there would be no way to say that "the order does not matter" right?
