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.

llvm-svn: 331841
This is a 2nd attempt at:
https://reviews.llvm.org/rL310055
...which was reverted at rL310123 because of PR34074:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34074
In this version, we break out of the inner loop after we successfully merge and kill a pair of stores. In the
earlier rev, we were continuing instead, which meant we could process the invalid info from a now dead store.
Original commit message (authored by Filipe Cabecinhas):
This fixes PR31777.
If both stores' values are ConstantInt, we merge the two stores
(shifting the smaller store appropriately) and replace the earlier (and
larger) store with an updated constant.
In the future we should also support vectors of integers. And maybe
float/double if we can.
