Fixes a crash where Enzyme fails to compute derivatives when compiling with LTO. Previously, global metadata markers (like `enzyme_dup`) were declared in the LLVM backend (`rustc_codegen_llvm`). However, LLVM's Link-Time Optimization aggressively stripped their initializers, causing Enzyme to misinterpret them as active external variables rather than constant structural markers. This fix resolves the issue by defining these structural anchors directly within the `core` library as `#[no_mangle]` statics. By anchoring them in the standard library, they are natively protected from LTO stripping, ensuring Enzyme correctly parses them as constant metadata during derivative generation.
