llvm-extract was unable to handle aliases. It would leave a copy on the
output of both
llvm-extract foo.ll -func=bar
and
llvm-extract foo.ll -func=bar -delete
so the two new files could not be linked together anymore. With this change
alias are handled almost like functions and global variables. Almost because
with alias we cannot just clear the initializer/body, we have to create a new
declaration and replace the alias with it.
The net result is that now the output of the above commands can be linked
even if foo.ll has aliases.
