In an ELF shared object, a default visibility defined symbol is preemptible by 
default.
This creates some missed optimization opportunities. 
-fno-semantic-interposition can

- in Clang: avoid GOT/PLT cost for variable access/function calls to external 
linkage definition in the same TU
- in GCC: enable interprocedural optimizations (including inlining) and avoid 
PLT

-Bsymbolic-functions can

- avoid PLT for cross-TU function calls && reduce dynamic symbol lookup
- reduce dynamic symbol lookup for taking function addresses and optimize out 
GOT/TOC on x86-64/ppc64

With both options, the libLLVM.so and libclang-cpp.so performance should
be closer to PIE binary linking against `libLLVM*.a` and `libclang*.a`

(In a -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86 build, the number of JUMP_SLOT decreases from 
12716 to 1628, and the number of GLOB_DAT decreases from 1918 to 1313)

The two options should be safe since they bring the behavior closer to
Mach-O dylib (without `-flat_namespace` or `-U symbol` => no interposition)
and Windows dll.
