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.

Remove the fake `DW_TAG_auto_variable` and `DW_TAG_arg_variable` tags,
using `DW_TAG_variable` in their place Stop exposing the `tag:` field at
all in the assembly format for `DILocalVariable`.
Most of the testcase updates were generated by the following sed script:
find test/ -name "*.ll" -o -name "*.mir" |
xargs grep -l 'DILocalVariable' |
xargs sed -i '' \
-e 's/tag: DW_TAG_arg_variable, //' \
-e 's/tag: DW_TAG_auto_variable, //'
There were only a handful of tests in `test/Assembly` that I needed to
update by hand.
(Note: a follow-up could change `DILocalVariable::DILocalVariable()` to
set the tag to `DW_TAG_formal_parameter` instead of `DW_TAG_variable`
(as appropriate), instead of having that logic magically in the backend
in `DbgVariable`. I've added a FIXME to that effect.)

As a follow-up to r235955, actually support up to 65535 arguments in a
subprogram. r235955 missed assembly support, having only tested the new
limit via C++ unit tests. Code patch by Amjad Aboud.
