The bitcode upgrade for DIGlobalVariable unconditionally wrapped
DIGlobalVariables in a DIGlobalVariableExpression. When a
DIGlobalVariable is referenced by a DIImportedEntity, however, this is
wrong. This patch fixes the bitcode upgrade by deferring the creation
of DIGlobalVariableExpressions until we know the context of the
DIGlobalVariable.

This patch implements PR31013 by introducing a
DIGlobalVariableExpression that holds a pair of DIGlobalVariable and
DIExpression.
Currently, DIGlobalVariables holds a DIExpression. This is not the
best way to model this:
(1) The DIGlobalVariable should describe the source level variable,
not how to get to its location.
(2) It makes it unsafe/hard to update the expressions when we call
replaceExpression on the DIGLobalVariable.
(3) It makes it impossible to represent a global variable that is in
more than one location (e.g., a variable with multiple
DW_OP_LLVM_fragment-s). We also moved away from attaching the
DIExpression to DILocalVariable for the same reasons.
This reapplies r289902 with additional testcase upgrades and a change
to the Bitcode record for DIGlobalVariable, that makes upgrading the
old format unambiguous also for variables without DIExpressions.
