Change how globalopt handles aliases in llvm.used.

Instead of a custom implementation of replaceAllUsesWith, we just call
replaceAllUsesWith and recreate llvm.used and llvm.compiler-used.

This change is particularity interesting because it makes llvm see
through what clang is doing with static used functions in extern "C"
contexts. With this change, running clang -O2 in

extern "C" {
  __attribute__((used)) static void foo() {}
}

produces

@llvm.used = appending global [1 x i8*] [i8* bitcast (void ()* @foo to
i8*)], section "llvm.metadata"
define internal void @foo() #0 {
entry:
  ret void
}
