Fix linking statics on Arm64EC
Arm64EC builds recently started to fail due to the linker not finding a symbol:
```
symbols.o : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol #_ZN3std9panicking11EMPTY_PANIC17hc8d2b903527827f1E (EC Symbol)
C:\Code\hello-world\target\arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc\debug\deps\hello_world.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
```
It turns out that `EMPTY_PANIC` is a new static variable that was being exported then imported from the standard library, but when exporting LLVM didn't prepend the name with `#` (as only functions are prefixed with this character), whereas Rust was prefixing with `#` when attempting to import it.
The fix is to have Rust not prefix statics with `#` when importing.
Adding tests discovered another issue: we need to correctly mark static exported from dylibs with `DATA`, otherwise MSVC's linker assumes they are functions and complains that there is no exit thunk for them.
CI found another bug: we only apply `DllImport` to non-local statics that aren't foreign items (i.e., in an `extern` block), that is we want to use `DllImport` for statics coming from other Rust crates. However, `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` is a static generated by the Rust compiler if required, but downstream crates consider it a foreign item since it is declared in an `extern "Rust"` block, thus they do not apply `DllImport` to it and so fails to link if it is exported by the previous crate as `DATA`. The fix is to apply `DllImport` to foreign items that are marked with the `rustc_std_internal_symbol` attribute (i.e., we assume they aren't actually foreign and will be in some Rust crate).
Fixes #138541

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
