[AIX][TLS] Generate .extern and .ref references to __tls_get_addr for local-exec accesses.
Compiling with TLS variables requires -pthread, but if the user omits this option, the compiler will not show any obvious indication during compilation that -pthread is needed for programs using TLS variables. Instead, the user will experience a segmentation fault when running programs with TLS variables in them and without specifying -pthread. This patch aims to generate .extern/.ref references to __tls_get_addr[DS] for local-exec accesses, in order to trigger an error from the linker to indicate that there is an undefined symbol to __tls_get_addr. Doing so will remind the user to compile/link with -pthread. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D151335
