Constructor homing reduces the amount of class type info that is emitted
by emitting conmplete type info for a class only when a constructor for
that class is emitted.
This will mainly reduce the amount of duplicate debug info in object
files. In Chrome enabling ctor homing decreased total build directory sizes
by about 30%.
It's also expected that some class types (such as unused classes)
will no longer be emitted in the debug info. This is fine, since we wouldn't
expect to need these types when debugging.
In some cases (e.g. libc++, https://reviews.llvm.org/D98750), classes
are used without calling the constructor. Since this is technically
undefined behavior, enabling constructor homing should be fine.
However Clang now has an attribute
`__attribute__((standalone_debug))` that can be used on classes to
ignore ctor homing.

Summary:
-debug-info-kind=constructor reduces the amount of class debug info that
is emitted; this patch switches to using this as the default.
Constructor homing emits the complete type info for a class only when the
constructor is emitted, so it is expected that there will be some classes that
are not defined in the debug info anymore because they are never constructed,
and we shouldn't need debug info for these classes.
I compared the PDB files for clang, and there are 273 class types that are defined with `=limited`
but not with `=constructor` (out of ~60,000 total class types).
We've looked at a number of the types that are no longer defined with =constructor. The vast
majority of cases are something like class A is used as a parameter in a member function of
some other class B, which is emitted. But the function that uses class A is never called, and class A
is never constructed, and therefore isn't emitted in the debug info.

Some tests are missing the {{(.exe)?}} suffix on the exectables
which the FileCheck is grepping for. This will ensure, the lit tests
are clean on windows
