This caused Chromium builds to fail with "inlinable function call in a function
with debug info must have a !dbg location" errors. See
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1022296#c1 for a
reproducer.

Currently, clang emits subprograms for declared functions when the
target debugger or DWARF standard is known to support entry values
(DW_OP_entry_value & the GNU equivalent).
Treat DW_AT_tail_call the same way to allow debuggers to follow cross-TU
tail calls.
Pre-patch debug session with a cross-TU tail call:
```
* frame #0: 0x0000000100000fa4 main`target at b.c:4:3 [opt]
frame #1: 0x0000000100000f99 main`main at a.c:8:10 [opt]
```
Post-patch (note that the tail-calling frame, "helper", is visible):
```
* frame #0: 0x0000000100000fa4 main`target at b.c:4:3 [opt]
frame #1: 0x0000000100000f80 main`helper [opt] [artificial]
frame #2: 0x0000000100000f99 main`main at a.c:8:10 [opt]
```

The option enables debug info about parameter's entry values.
The example of using the option:
clang -g -O2 -Xclang -femit-debug-entry-values test.c
In addition, when the option is set add the flag all_call_sites
in a subprogram in order to support GNU extension as well.
([3/13] Introduce the debug entry values.)

DWARF v5 introduces DW_AT_call_all_calls, a subprogram attribute which
indicates that all calls (both regular and tail) within the subprogram
have call site entries. The information within these call site entries
can be used by a debugger to populate backtraces with synthetic tail
call frames.
Tail calling frames go missing in backtraces because the frame of the
caller is reused by the callee. Call site entries allow a debugger to
reconstruct a sequence of (tail) calls which led from one function to
another. This improves backtrace quality. There are limitations: tail
recursion isn't handled, variables within synthetic frames may not
survive to be inspected, etc. This approach is not novel, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/summit2010?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=jelinek.pdf
This patch adds an IR-level flag (DIFlagAllCallsDescribed) which lowers
to DW_AT_call_all_calls. It adds the minimal amount of DWARF generation
support needed to emit standards-compliant call site entries. For easier
deployment, when the debugger tuning is LLDB, the DWARF requirement is
adjusted to v4.
Testing: Apart from check-{llvm, clang}, I built a stage2 RelWithDebInfo
clang binary. Its dSYM passed verification and grew by 1.4% compared to
the baseline. 151,879 call site entries were added.
