Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Summary:
In rL242338, debugger tuning was introduced, and the tuning for FreeBSD
was set to lldb by default. However, for the foreseeable future we
still need to default to gdb tuning, since lldb is not ready for all of
FreeBSD's architectures, and some system tools (like objcopy, etc) have
not yet been adapted to cope with the lldb tuned format, which has
.apple sections.
Therefore, let FreeBSD use gdb by default for now.

Since r241097, `DIBuilder` has only created distinct `DICompileUnit`s.
The backend is liable to start relying on that (if it hasn't already),
so make uniquable `DICompileUnit`s illegal and automatically upgrade old
bitcode. This is a nice cleanup, since we can remove an unnecessary
`DenseSet` (and the associated uniquing info) from `LLVMContextImpl`.
Almost all the testcases were updated with this script:
git grep -e '= !DICompileUnit' -l -- test |
grep -v test/Bitcode |
xargs sed -i '' -e 's,= !DICompileUnit,= distinct !DICompileUnit,'
I imagine something similar should work for out-of-tree testcases.

emit debug info, according to the preferences of the different
debuggers used on various targets.
Darwin and FreeBSD default to tuning for LLDB; PS4 defaults to tuning for
the SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) debugger. All others default to GDB.
