Enforce rule that `export`/`extern` (non cpp) must be `const` (#7113)
* Enforce rule that `export`/`extern` (non cpp) must be `const` fixes: #5570 Problem: 1. we allow non-const-link-time-var to be linked to a const-link-time-var. 2. problem is that: module use site has const var, so, we emit OpStore %Ptr %Const in IR, this is expected, this is good. We fail because we in reality have a OpStore %Ptr %Var (fails since we need a OpLoad in-between) in IR since the module with our link-time-variable-value is a regular variable. 3. We loose the float_litteral talked about inside the github issue since, we technically don't use our variable "VAL" (we never OpLoad from it), so spirv-opt removes the float_litteral, this is a byproduct of the actual issue. Solution: * `export`/`extern` variables must always be `const`. This excludes `__extern_cpp` since `cpp` does not exhibit this issue and works differently. * format code * changel logic and tests to only ensure `static const` with `export`/`extern` * changing the rules: only reqirement is that if we have const we must have static * remove a spirrious change made * fix merge --------- Co-authored-by: slangbot <186143334+slangbot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Yong He <yonghe@outlook.com>
