avoid needlessly creating global constants
This deletes some legacy cruft, and produces leaner object files. Example: ``` var x: i32 = 1234; export fn entry() i32 { return x; } ``` This produces: ``` @x = internal unnamed_addr global i32 1234, align 4 @0 = internal unnamed_addr constant i32* @x, align 8 ``` and @0 is never even used. After this commit, @0 is not produced. This fixes a bug: Zig was creating invalid LLVM IR when one of these globals that shouldn't exist takes the address of a thread local variable. In LLVM 8.0.0rc2, it would produce a linker error. But probably after my bug report is solved it will be caught by the IR verifier. https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40652
