Give thunks weak_odr linkage. (#7525)

We can end up emitting the same thunk from multiple compilations in some
cases -- in particular, when the thunk is wrapping a function that is
either synthesized by the compiler or imported from C++. When this
happens, we will have multiple-definition link errors unless we allow
redefinitions across multiple files.

It'd be nice to detect when we need to do this and when we don't, but
that's a bit tricky to do in practice. Ideally, in fact, we would use a
different strategy, and emit the thunks as discardable definitions in
each compilation that *uses* them. But for now emitting them with
weak_odr linkage seems like a good way to make progress.
