As discussed on llvm-dev in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-September/117301.html
this changes the command line interface of llvm-dwarfdump to match the
one used by the dwarfdump utility shipping on macOS. In addition to
being shorter to type this format also has the advantage of allowing
more than one section to be specified at the same time.
In a nutshell, with this change
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=info
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=apple-objc
becomes
$ dwarfdump --debug-info --apple-objc

This is a better fix than r308708 for the problem introduced in
r304020. It restores the skeleton CU testcases modified by that commit
to their original form and most importantly ensures that
frontend-generated skeleton CUs (such as used to point to Clang
modules) come after the regular CUs. This broke for DICompileUnit
nodes that don't have any immediate children because they are now
constructed lazily instead of the order in which they are listed in
!llvm.dbg.cu. After this commit we still don't guarantee that order,
but we do guarantee that empty skeletons come last.
Shipping versions of LLDB are very sensitive to the ordering of
CUs. I'll track a fix for LLDB to be more permissive separately.
This fixes a test failure in the LLDB testsuite.

Consistent with GCC and addresses a shortcoming with ThinLTO where many
imported CUs may end up being empty (because the functions imported from
them either ended up not being used (and were then discarded, since
they're imported as available_externally) or optimized away entirely).
Test cases previously testing empty CUs (either intentionally, or
because they didn't need anything more complicated) had a trivial 'int'
or similar basic type added to their retained types list.
This is a first order approximation - a deeper implementation could do
things like:
1) Be more lazy about construction of the CU - for example if two CUs
containing a single identical retained type are linked together, with
this change one of the two CUs will be produced but empty (since a
duplicate type won't be produced).
2) Go further and invert all the CU links the same way the subprogram
link is inverted - keep named CU lists of retained types, macros, etc,
and have those link back to the CU. Then if they're emitted, the CU is
emitted, but never otherwise - this would allow the metadata itself to
be dropped earlier too, though it seems unlikely that's an important
optimization as there shouldn't be many CUs relative to the number of
other entities.

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.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.
