On platforms which support COMDAT sections we should use them when
linkonce or linkonce_odr linkage is requested. This is required on
Windows (PE/COFF) and provides better behaviour than weak symbols on
ELF-based platforms.
This patch also reverts string literals to use linkonce instead of
internal linkage now that comdats are supported.
I have no idea why my text editor does this and I can't make it stop....
