Adds the IR pass to tag global variables. You can see the official ABI
proposal at https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/pull/166.

This pass very simply goes over the taggable global variables, re-sizes
and re-aligns them so that they're matched up to the tag granule size
(16 bytes), and marks them as tagged. This allows the backend to create
relocations and put them into a special section.

Global merge must be suppressed for tagged globals, as each global
variable must have a unique tag. This can possibly be relaxed in future;
globals that are identical in size, alignment, and content can
possibly be merged. The major problem comes from tail- or head-merging.

In addition, make sure that tagged globals in object files have
referenced symtab entries for relocations. This is necessary for the
linker to know where a tag should come from, as there's some special
dynamic relocation logic that applies
