This patch is to merge type info in multiple .debug$T sections.
One mystery that needs to be solved is that it is not clear how
the MSVC linker uses TPI and IPI streams. Both streams contain
type info, and it is not obvious what kind of record should go
which.
dumppdb command in microsoft-pdb repository prints out IPI stream
contents as "IDs" and TPI stream as "TYPES", but looks like the tool
don't really care about which stream type recrods were read from.
For now, in this patch, I emit all type records to TPI stream.
It might just work with other tools. If not, we need to investigate
it more.

Previously the type dumper itself was passed around to a lot of different
places and manipulated in ways that were more appropriate on the type
database. For example, the entire TypeDumper was passed into the symbol
dumper, when all the symbol dumper wanted to do was lookup the name of a
TypeIndex so it could print it. That's what the TypeDatabase is for --
mapping type indices to names.
Another example is how if the user runs llvm-pdbdump with the option to
dump symbols but not types, we still have to visit all types so that we
can print minimal information about the type of a symbol, but just without
dumping full symbol records. The way we did this before is by hacking it
up so that we run everything through the type dumper with a null printer,
so that the output goes to /dev/null. But really, we don't need to dump
anything, all we want to do is build the type database. Since
TypeDatabaseVisitor now exists independently of TypeDumper, we can do
this. We just build a custom visitor callback pipeline that includes a
database visitor but not a dumper.
All the hackery around printers etc goes away. After this patch, we could
probably even delete the entire CVTypeDumper class since really all it is
at this point is a thin wrapper that hides the details of how to build a
useful visitation pipeline. It's not a priority though, so CVTypeDumper
remains for now.
After this patch we will be able to easily plug in a different style of
type dumper by only implementing the proper visitation methods to dump
one-line output and then sticking it on the pipeline.

We were starting to get some name clashes between llvm-pdbdump
and the common CodeView framework, so I took this opportunity
to rename a bunch of files to more accurately describe their
usage. This also helps in llvm-pdbdump to distinguish
between different files and whether they are used for pretty
dump mode or raw dump mode.

The PDB GUID, Age, and version are tied together by the RSDS record in
the binary. Pass along the BuildId information into the createPDB to
allow us to tie the binary and the PDB together.

I don't think the data I add to a TPI stream in this patch is correct,
but at least it can be displayed using llvm-pdbdump. Until I add more
streams to a PDB file, I'm not able to know whether the data will be
accepted by MSVC tools or not.

Previously, we discarded .debug$ sections. This patch adds them to
files so that PDB.cpp can access them.
This patch also adds a debug option, /dumppdb, to dump debug info
fed to createPDB so that we can verify that valid data has been passed.

With this, "llvm-pdbdump yaml -ipi-stream" prints out an IPI stream.
Previously it crashed because it can't handle the case where IPI
stream doesn't exist.

I do not fully understand how to use these classes yet, but
seems like these arguments are not used, since without them
all tests still pass. In order to simplify the situation,
I'll remove them now.

So that it is clear that FileOutputBuffer does not depend on
PDB file builder. Eventually we will have to to get the file size
info from the file builder to create a file with the exact size.
NFC.

MSVC linker considers PDB files created with this patch valid.
So you don't have to remove PDB files created by lld before
running MSVC linker.
This patch has no test since llvm-pdbdump dislikes PDB files
with no metadata streams.

Before this patch, we created an empty PDB file if /debug option is
specified. For MSVC linker, such PDB file is completely broken, and
linker exits without doing anything as soon as it finds an empty PDB
file.
A PDB file created in this patch has the correct file signature.
MSVC linker still thinks that the file is broken, but it then removes
and replaces with its output.
This is an initial patch to support PDB in LLD. We aim to support
PDB in order to make it 100% compatible with MSVC linker. PDB support
is the last missing piece.
