In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Since users typically don't really care about the .dwo / non.dwo
distinction, this patch makes it so dwarfdump --debug-<info,...> dumps
.debug_info and (if available) also .debug_info.dwo. This simplifies
the command line interface (I've removed all dwo-specific dump
options) and makes the tool friendlier to use.

As discussed on llvm-dev in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-September/117301.html
this changes the command line interface of llvm-dwarfdump to match the
one used by the dwarfdump utility shipping on macOS. In addition to
being shorter to type this format also has the advantage of allowing
more than one section to be specified at the same time.
In a nutshell, with this change
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=info
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=apple-objc
becomes
$ dwarfdump --debug-info --apple-objc

Turns out that the Fission/Split DWARF package format (DWP) is currently
insufficient to handle cross-CU (ref_addr) references. So for now,
duplicate any debug info needed in these situations:
* inlined_subroutine's abstract_origin
* inlined variable's abstract_origin
* types
Keep the ref_addr behavior in general, including in the split DWARF
inline debug info that can be emitted into the object files for online
symbolication.
Keep a flag to use the old (ref_addr) behavior for testing ways of
addressing this limitation in the DWP tool (& for those not using DWP
packaging).

In dwo files the fixed offset can be used - if the dwos are linked into
a dwp, the dwo consumer must use the dwp tables to find out where the
original range of the debug_info was and resolve the "section relative"
value relative to that original range - effectively
avoiding/reimplementing the relocation handling.
