[Debugify][Original DI] Test dbg var loc preservation
This is an improvement of [0]. This adds checking of
original llvm.dbg.values()/declares() instructions in
optimizations.
We have picked a real issue that has been found with
this (actually, picked one variable location missing
from [1] and resolved the issue), and the result is
the fix for that -- D100844.
Before applying the D100844, using the options from [0]
(but with this patch applied) on the compilation of GDB 7.11,
the final HTML report for the debug-info issues can be found
at [1] (please scroll down, and look for
"Summary of Variable Location Bugs"). After applying
the D100844, the numbers has improved a bit -- please take
a look into [2].

The Unit test was failing because the pass from the test that
modifies the IR, in its runOnFunction() didn't return 'true',
so the expensive-check configuration triggered an assertion.

As discussed on the RFC [0], I am sharing the set of patches that
enables checking of original Debug Info metadata preservation in
optimizations. The proof-of-concept/proposal can be found at [1].
The implementation from the [1] was full of duplicated code,
so this set of patches tries to merge this approach into the existing
debugify utility.
For example, the utility pass in the original-debuginfo-check
mode could be invoked as follows:
$ opt -verify-debuginfo-preserve -pass-to-test sample.ll
Since this is very initial stage of the implementation,
there is a space for improvements such as:
- Add support for the new pass manager
- Add support for metadata other than DILocations and DISubprograms

The test that was failing is now forced to use the old PM.
