Make `LLVMRustGetOrInsertGlobal` always return a `GlobalVariable`

`Module::getOrInsertGlobal` returns a `Constant*`, which is a super
class of `GlobalVariable`, but if the given type doesn't match an
existing declaration, it returns a bitcast of that global instead.
This causes UB when we pass that to `LLVMGetVisibility` which
unconditionally casts the opaque argument to a `GlobalValue*`.

Instead, we can do our own get-or-insert without worrying whether
existing types match exactly. It's not relevant when we're just trying
to get/set the linkage and visibility, and if types are needed we can
bitcast or error nicely from `rustc_codegen_llvm` instead.

+// bitcast instead of a GlobalVariable* that could access linkage/visibility.
+// In alt builds with LLVM assertions this would fail:

+// rustc: /checkout/src/llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/Support/Casting.h:269:
+// typename cast_retty<X, Y *>::ret_type llvm::cast(Y *) [X = llvm::GlobalValue, Y = llvm::Value]:
+// Assertion `isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible type!"' failed.
+//
+// In regular builds, the bad cast was UB, like "Invalid LLVMRustVisibility value!"
