ICF and GC impair debugging, so MSVC disables these optimizations when
/debug is passed. They are still on by default when no PDB is produced.
This change also makes /opt:ref enable ICF, which is consistent with
MSVC: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bxwfs976.aspx
We should consider making /opt:icf fold readonly data in the near
future. LLD used to do this, but we disabled it because it breaks too
many programs. MSVC only does this if the user explicitly passes
/opt:icf.

Summary:
This is a first step towards getting line info to show up in VS and
windbg. So far, only llvm-pdbutil can parse the PDBs that we produce.
cvdump doesn't like something about our file checksum tables. I'll have
to dig into that next.
This patch adds a new DebugSubsectionRecordBuilder which takes bytes
directly from some other producer, such as a linker, and sticks it into
the PDB. Line tables only need to be relocated. No data needs to be
rewritten.
File checksums and string tables, on the other hand, need to be re-done.

Associative sections are sections that need to be linked if their associated
sections are linked. Associative sections are used to append auxiliary data
such as debug info.
Previously, we compared all associative sections when comparing two comdat
sections. Because usually assocative sections are not mergeable sections,
we missed a lot of mergeable sections. MSVC linker doesn't seem to check
the identity of associative sections.
This patch makes LLD to ignore associative sections when doing ICF.
