This came out of a recent discussion on llvm-dev
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D38042). Currently the Verifier will strip
the debug info metadata from a module if it finds the dbeug info to be
malformed. This feature is very valuable since it allows us to improve
the Verifier by making it stricter without breaking bcompatibility,
but arguable the Verifier pass should not be modifying the IR. This
patch moves the stripping of broken debug info into AutoUpgrade
(UpgradeDebugInfo to be precise), which is a much better location for
this since the stripping of malformed (i.e., produced by older, buggy
versions of Clang) is a (harsh) form of AutoUpgrade.
This change is mostly NFC in nature, the one big difference is the
behavior when LLVM module passes are introducing malformed debug
info. Prior to this patch, a NoAsserts build would have printed a
warning and stripped the debug info, after this patch the Verifier
will report a fatal error. I believe this behavior is actually more
desirable anyway.

llvm-svn: 314699
Conflicting debug info for function arguments causes hard-to-debug
assertions in the DWARF backend, so the Verifier should reject it.
For performance reasons this only checks function arguments from
non-inlined debug intrinsics for now.

This reapplies r295749 after fixing PR32042.

This reverts commit r295749 while investigating PR32042.
It looks like this check uncovered a problem in the frontend that
needs to be fixed before the check can be enabled again.
