bors f08851e31a auto merge of #8421 : alexcrichton/rust/unnamed-addr, r=thestinger
This can be applied to statics and it will indicate that LLVM will attempt to
merge the constant in .data with other statics.

I have preliminarily applied this to all of the statics generated by the new
`ifmt!` syntax extension. I compiled a file with 1000 calls to `ifmt!` and a
separate file with 1000 calls to `fmt!` to compare the sizes, and the results
were:

```
fmt           310k
ifmt (before) 529k
ifmt (after)  202k
```

This now means that ifmt! is both faster and smaller than fmt!, yay!
