David Blaikie 2a813ef208 DebugInfo: Improve debug location merging
Fix a set of related bugs:

* Considering two locations as equivalent when their lines are the same
but their scopes are different causes erroneous debug info that
attributes a commoned call to be attributed to one of the two calls it
was commoned from.

* The previous code to compute a new location's scope was inaccurate and
would use the inlinedAt that was the /parent/ of the inlinedAt that is
the nearest common one, and also used that parent scope instead of the
nearest common scope.

* Not generating new locations generally seemed like a lower quality
choice

There was some risk that generating more new locations could hurt object
size by making more fine grained line table entries, but it looks like
that was offset by the decrease in line table (& address & ranges) size
caused by more accurately computing the scope - which likely lead to
fewer range entries (more contiguous ranges) & reduced size that way.

All up with these changes I saw minor reductions (-1.21%, -1.77%) in
.rela.debug_ranges and .rela.debug_addr (in a fission, compressed debug
info build) as well as other minor size changes (generally reductinos)
across the board (-1.32% debug_info.dwo, -1.28% debug_loc.dwo). Measured
in an optimized (-O2) build of the clang binary.

If you are investigating a size regression in an optimized debug builds,
this is certainly a patch to look into - and I'd be happy to look into
any major regressions found & see what we can do to address them.
