[ELF] Suppress "duplicate symbol" when resolving STB_WEAK and STB_GNU_UNIQUE in different COMDATs

```
template <typename T> struct A {
  A() {}
  int value = 0;
};

template <typename Value> struct B {
  static A<int> a;
};

template <typename Value> A<int> B<Value>::a;

inline int foo() {
  return B<int>::a.value;
}
```

```
clang++ -c -fno-pic a.cc -o weak.o
g++ -c -fno-pic a.cc -o unique.o  # --enable-gnu-unique-object

# Duplicate symbol error. In postParse, we do not check `sym.binding`
ld.lld -e 0 weak.o unique.o
```

Mixing GCC and Clang object files in this case is not ideal. .bss._ZGVN1BIiE1aE
has different COMDAT groups. It appears to work in practice because the guard
variable prevents harm due to double initialization.

For the linker, we just stick with the rule that a weak binding does not cause
"duplicate symbol" errors.
