In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
This patch reverses the edge from DIGlobalVariable to GlobalVariable.
This will allow us to more easily preserve debug info metadata when
manipulating global variables.
Fixes PR30362. A program for upgrading test cases is attached to that
bug.

This moves the code that handles stripping debug info intrinsic from
StripDebugInfo(Module) to StripDebugInfo(Function). The latter is
already walking every instructions so it makes sense to do it at the
same time.
This makes also stripDebugInfo(Function) as an API more useful: it
is really dropping every debug info in the Function.
Finally the existing code is trigerring an assertion when the Module
is not fully materialized.
