Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

This fixes the issue of wrong CFA calculation in the following case:
0x08048400 <+0>: push %ebx
0x08048401 <+1>: sub $0x8,%esp
0x08048404 <+4>: **call 0x8048409 <test+9>**
0x08048409 <+9>: **pop %eax**
0x0804840a <+10>: add $0x1bf7,%eax
0x08048410 <+16>: mov %eax,%ebx
0x08048412 <+18>: call 0x80483f0 <bar>
0x08048417 <+23>: add $0x8,%esp
0x0804841a <+26>: pop %ebx
0x0804841b <+27>: ret
The highlighted instructions are a product of movpc instruction. The call
instruction changes the stack pointer, and pop instruction restores its
value. However, the rule for computing CFA is not updated and is wrong on
the pop instruction. So, e.g. backtrace in gdb does not work when on the pop
instruction. This adds cfi instructions for both call and pop instructions.
cfi_adjust_cfa_offset** instruction is used with the appropriate offset for
setting the rules to calculate CFA correctly.
