From: YU Jincheng <[email protected]>

- clang 9+ will load the const pointer first before the const
  pointer assignment trick and thus cause null pointer defer.
- This patch creates a shadow variable to prevent the above from
  happening for clang 9+.
- Also, this patch applies `BB_GLOBAL_CONST` to all variables
  using the same trick, allowing archs or toolchains having the
  same issue to bypass this trick correctly.

This patch fixes https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=14231
and https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=14236
