This patch fixes an issue in which ConstantAsMetadata arguments to a
DIArglist, as well as the Constant values referenced by that metadata,
would not be always be emitted correctly into bitcode. This patch fixes
this issue firstly by searching for ConstantAsMetadata in DIArgLists
(previously we would only search for them when directly wrapped in
MetadataAsValue), and secondly by enumerating all of a DIArgList's
arguments directly prior to enumerating the DIArgList itself.
This patch also adds a number of asserts, and no longer treats the
arguments to a DIArgList as optional fields when reading/writing to
bitcode.

This patch adds a new metadata node, DIArgList, which contains a list of SSA
values. This node is in many ways similar in function to the existing
ValueAsMetadata node, with the difference being that it tracks a list instead of
a single value. Internally, it uses ValueAsMetadata to track the individual
values, but there is also a reasonable amount of DIArgList-specific
value-tracking logic on top of that. Similar to ValueAsMetadata, it is a special
case in parsing and printing due to the fact that it requires a function state
(as it may reference function-local values).
This patch should not result in any immediate functional change; it allows for
DIArgLists to be parsed and printed, but debug variable intrinsics do not yet
recognize them as a valid argument (outside of parsing).
