This change implements basic support for DWARF alternate sections
proposal: http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=120604.1&type=open
LLVM tools now understand new forms: DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt and
DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt, which are used as references to .debug_info and
.debug_str sections respectively, stored in a separate file, and
possibly shared between different executables / shared objects.
llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-symbolizer don't yet know how to access this
alternate debug file (usually pointed by .gnu_debugaltlink section),
but they can at lease properly parse and dump regular files, which
refer to it.
This change should fix crashes of llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-symbolizer on
files produced by running "dwz" tool. Such files are already installed
on some modern Linux distributions.

Also re-implements the `dwarf::Tag` enumerator. I've moved the mock
tags into the enumerator since there's no other way to do this. Really
they shouldn't be used at all (they're just a hack to identify
`MDNode`s, but we have a class hierarchy for that now).

`dwarf::TagString()` shouldn't stringify `DW_TAG_lo_user` or
`DW_TAG_hi_user`. These aren't actual tags; they're markers for the
edge of vendor-specific tag regions.

In post-commit review of r219442, Rafael pointed out that the comment style
of the newly introduced helper didn't follow LLVM's coding standard.
Modernize the whole file to the new standards.

argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

Note: I accidentally committed a bogus older version of this patch previously.

This reverts commit 93c7e6161e1adbd2c7ac81fa081823183035cb64.
This commit got approved first, but was dependant on another one going in (The one pretty printing attribute values). I'll reapply when the other one is in.

Based on code review feedback from Eric Christopher, unshifting these
constants as they can appear in the gdb_index itself, shifted a further
24 bits. This means that keeping them preshifted is a bit inflexible, so
let's not do that.
Given the motivation, wrap up some nicer enums, more type safety, and
some utility functions.

to lib/DebugInfo, with dumping in llvm-dwarfdump. This patch adds
initial ability to parse and dump CFA instructions contained in
entries.
To keep it manageable, the patch omits some more advanced capabilities
(accounted in TODOs):
* Parsing of instructions with BLOCK arguments (expression lists)
* Dumping of actual instruction arguments (currently only names are
dumped). This is quite tricky since the dumper has to effectively
"interpret" the instructions.
