Rollup merge of #103353 - wesleywiser:fix_lld_thinlto_msvc, r=michaelwoerister
Fix Access Violation when using lld & ThinLTO on windows-msvc

Users report an AV at runtime of the compiled binary when using lld and ThinLTO on windows-msvc. The AV occurs when accessing a static value which is defined in one crate but used in another. Based on the disassembly of the cross-crate use, it appears that the use is not correctly linked with the definition and is instead assigned a garbage pointer value.

If we look at the symbol tables for each crates' obj file, we can see what is happening:

*lib.obj*:

```
COFF SYMBOL TABLE
...
00E 00000000 SECT2  notype       External     | _ZN10reproducer7memrchr2FN17h612b61ca0e168901E
...
```

*bin.obj*:

```
COFF SYMBOL TABLE
...
010 00000000 UNDEF  notype       External     | __imp__ZN10reproducer7memrchr2FN17h612b61ca0e168901E
...
```

The use of the symbol has the "import" style symbol name but the declaration doesn't generate any symbol with the same name. As a result, linking the files generates a warning from lld:

> rust-lld: warning: bin.obj: locally defined symbol imported: reproducer::memrchr::FN::h612b61ca0e168901 (defined in lib.obj) [LNK4217]

and the symbol reference remains undefined at runtime leading to the AV.

To fix this, we just need to detect that we are performing ThinLTO (and thus, static linking) and omit the `dllimport` attribute on the extern item in LLVM IR.

Fixes #81408
