Bug fixes

• Make pragma(LDC_no_typeinfo) actually elide TypeInfo emission for structs, classes and interfaces. (#3068)
• Windows: Fix DLL entry point in MinGW-based libs. (ldc-developers/mingw-w64-libs@8d930c1)
• WebAssembly: Use --export-dynamic when linking with LLD 8+. (#3023, #3072)
• Fix corrupt this in functions nested in in/out contracts. (45460a1)

• uClibc: Fix C assert calls. (#3078, #3082) (new)
• Improved error message on global variable collision. (#3080, #3081) (new)

Known issues

• Buggy older ld.bfd linker versions may wrongly strip out required symbols, e.g., ModuleInfos (so that e.g. no module ctors/dtors are run). LDC defaults to ld.gold on Linux.
• LDC does not zero the padding area of a real variable. This may lead to wrong results if the padding area is also considered. See #770. Does not apply to real members inside structs etc.
