If a global function doesn't return, and its prototype has the __noreturn attribute, its weak counterpart must also not return so that it matches the prototype and meets call site expectations. To properly follow the compiled control flow at the call sites, change the global_noreturns check to include both global and weak functions. On the other hand, if a weak function isn't in global_noreturns, assume the prototype doesn't have __noreturn. Even if the weak function doesn't return, call sites treat it like a returnable function.
