[LangRef] Clarify comdat

* ELF supports `nodeduplicate`.
* ELF calls the concept "section group". `GRP_COMDAT` emulates the PE COMDAT deduplication feature.
* "COMDAT group" is an ELF term. Avoid it for PE/COFF.
* WebAssembly supports comdat but only supports the `any` selection kind. https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50531
* A comdat must be included or omitted as a unit. Both the compiler and the linker must obey this rule.
* A global object can be a member of at most one comdat.
* COFF requires a non-local linkage for non-`nodeduplicate` selection kinds.
* llvm.global_ctors/.llvm.global_dtors: if the third field is used on ELF, it must reference a global variable or function in a comdat
