Summary:
Most DIExpressions are empty or very simple. When they are complex, they
tend to be unique, so checking them inline is reasonable.
This also avoids the need for CodeGen passes to append to the
llvm.dbg.mir named md node.
See also PR22780, for making DIExpression not be an MDNode.

There is no situation where this rarely-used argument cannot be
substituted with a DIExpression and removing it allows us to simplify
the DWARF backend. Note that this patch does not yet remove any of
the newly dead code.

Summary:
Under option -mergefunc-preserve-debug-info we:
- Do not create a new function for a thunk.
- Retain the debug info for a thunk's parameters (and associated
instructions for the debug info) from the entry block.
Note: -debug will display the algorithm at work.
- Create debug-info for the call (to the shared implementation) made by
a thunk and its return value.
- Erase the rest of the function, retaining the (minimally sized) entry
block to create a thunk.
- Preserve a thunk's call site to point to the thunk even when both occur
within the same translation unit, to aid debugability. Note that this
behaviour differs from the underlying -mergefunc implementation which
modifies the thunk's call site to point to the shared implementation
when both occur within the same translation unit.
