rustc: Add suffix ".rc" to LLVM module identifier

LLVM code generator emits the ".file filename" directive for ELF
backends. Value of the "filename" is set as the LLVM module identifier.
Due to a LLVM MC bug[1], LLVM crashes if the module identifer is same as
other symbols such as a function name in the module.

This patch adds a ".rc" suffix (means crates) to LLVM module identifier
to workaround the bug.

Fixes issue #1251.
