Re-land: [MTE] Add AArch64GlobalsTagging Pass

Adds an IR pass for -fsanitize=memtag-globals. This pass goes over the
tag-capable global variables, and replaces them with a tagged global
variable of the same contents. This new global variable will have its
size and alignment adjusted if neccesary so that they're both a multiple
of the tag granule size (16 bytes).

Global merge must also 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, which if
left unchecked, could have partially-overlapping global variables with
different memory tags, leading to crashes at runtime.
