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.

With this change, most 'g' options are rejected by CompilerInvocation.
They remain only as Driver options. The new way to request debug info
from cc1 is with "-debug-info-kind={line-tables-only|limited|standalone}"
and "-dwarf-version={2|3|4}". In the absence of a command-line option
to specify Dwarf version, the Toolchain decides it, rather than placing
Toolchain-specific logic in CompilerInvocation.
Also fix a bug in the Windows compatibility argument parsing
in which the "rightmost argument wins" principle failed.

AT_producer. Which includes clang's version information so we can tell
which version of the compiler was used.
This is second of the two steps to allow us to do this. The first was a
change to llvm-mc with revision 172630 to provide a method to set the
AT_producer string. This second step has the clang driver passing the value
of getClangFullVersion() via the new flag -dwarf-debug-producer when invoking
the integrated assembler on assembly source files. Then using the new
setDwarfDebugProducer() method to set the AT_producer string.
