[clang] [clang][CodeGen] Stop overriding GlobalVariable's default address space (PR #222367)

[Marcos Maronas via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/maarquitos14 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/222367

The `GlobalVariable` constructor used by `createGlobal` receives a `std::optional<unsigned> AddressSpace` that, when unspecified, falls back to `M.getDataLayout().getDefaultGlobalsAddressSpace()`. However, `createGlobal`'s `AddressSpace` arg was a bare `unsigned` defaulting to 0. By doing that, it was effectively overriding the `GlobalVariable`'s constructor fallback with 0. On targets whose default globals address space is not 0 (AMDGPU, SPIR/SPIR-V), this emitted `@llvm.global_ctors/dtors` in address space 0 causing some issues (see https://github.com/ROCm/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator/issues/293).
