Previously we emitted 20-byte SHA1 hashes. This is overkill
for identifying debug info records, and has the negative side
effect of making object files bigger and links slower. By
using only the last 8 bytes of a SHA1, we get smaller object
files and ~10% faster links.
This modifies the format of the .debug$H section by adding a new
value for the hash algorithm field, so that the linker will still
work when its object files have an old format.

Summary:
We were treating the GUIDs in TypeServer2Record as strings, and the
non-ASCII bytes in the GUID would not round-trip through YAML.
We already had the PDB_UniqueId type portably represent a Windows GUID,
but we need to hoist that up to the DebugInfo/CodeView library so that
we can use it in the TypeServer2Record as well as in PDB parsing code.
