[Linker] Support weak symbols in nodeduplicate COMDAT group

When a nodeduplicate COMDAT group contains a weak symbol, choose
a non-weak symbol (or one of the weak ones) rather than reporting
an error. This should address issue PR51394.

With the current IR representation, a generic comdat nodeduplicate
semantics is not representable for LTO. In the linker, sections and
symbols are separate concepts. A dropped weak symbol does not force the
defining input section to be dropped as well (though it can be collected
by GC). In the IR, when a weak linkage symbol is dropped, its associate
section content is dropped as well.

For InstrProfiling, which is where ran into this issue in PR51394, the
deduplication semantic is a sufficient workaround.
