As recently discussed on llvm-dev [1], this patch makes it illegal for
two Functions to point to the same DISubprogram and updates
FunctionCloner to also clone the debug info of a function to conform
to the new requirement. To simplify the implementation it also factors
out the creation of inlineAt locations from the Inliner into a
general-purpose utility in DILocation.

This reapplies r302469 with a fix for a bot failure (reparentDebugInfo
now checks for the case the orig and new function are identical).

This caused PR32977.

This change is motivated by an upcoming change to the metadata representation
used for CFI. The indirect function call checker needs type information for
external function declarations in order to correctly generate jump table
entries for such declarations. We currently associate such type information
with declarations using a global metadata node, but I plan [1] to move all
such metadata to global object attachments.
In bitcode, metadata attachments for function declarations appear in the
global metadata block. This seems reasonable to me because I expect metadata
attachments on declarations to be uncommon. In the long term I'd also expect
this to be the case for CFI, because we'd want to use some specialized bitcode
format for this metadata that could be read as part of the ThinLTO thin-link
phase, which would mean that it would not appear in the global metadata block.
To solve the lazy loaded metadata issue I was seeing with D20147, I use the
same bitcode representation for metadata attachments for global variables as I
do for function declarations. Since there's a use case for metadata attachments
in the global metadata block, we might as well use that representation for
global variables as well, at least until we have a mechanism for lazy loading
global variables.
In the assembly format, the metadata attachments appear after the "declare"
keyword in order to avoid a parsing ambiguity.

This will be necessary to allow the global merge pass to attach
multiple debug info metadata nodes to global variables once we reverse
the edge from DIGlobalVariable to GlobalVariable.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

Add `Function::setSubprogram()` and `Function::getSubprogram()`,
convenience methods to forward to `setMetadata()` and `getMetadata()`,
respectively, and deal in `DISubprogram` instead of `MDNode`.
Also add a verifier check to enforce that `!dbg` attachments are always
subprograms.
Originally (when I had the llvm-dev discussion back in April) I thought
I'd store a pointer directly on `llvm::Function` for these attachments
-- we frequently have debug info, and that's much cheaper than using map
in the context if there are no other function-level attachments -- but
for now I'm just using the generic infrastructure. Let's add the extra
complexity only if this shows up in a profile.
