[CUDA] Give templated device functions internal linkage, templated kernels external linkage.

[jlebar]

Summary

This lets LLVM perform IPO over these functions. In particular, it
allows LLVM to emit ld.global.nc for loads to __restrict pointers in
kernels that are never written to.

[jlebar]

tra makes the good point that maybe this should be done in ASTContext, where we already have a special case for global. (I think I gravitated to doing it this way because the GVA* enums have zero documentation -- at least I have a vague idea of what the LLVM attributes do. :)

Suggestions welcome, Richard, this patch is just a guess.

Friendly ping.

lgtm Doing this in CodeGen seems right.
