Instead of creating global variables for source locations and global names,
just create metadata nodes and strings. They will be transformed into actual
globals in the instrumentation pass (if necessary). This approach is more
flexible:
1) we don't have to ensure that our custom globals survive all the optimizations
2) if globals are discarded for some reason, we will simply ignore metadata for them
and won't have to erase corresponding globals
3) metadata for source locations can be reused for other purposes: e.g. we may
attach source location metadata to alloca instructions and provide better descriptions
for stack variables in ASan error reports.
No functionality change.

It is responsible for generating metadata consumed by sanitizer instrumentation
passes in the backend. Move several methods from CodeGenModule to SanitizerMetadata.
For now the class is stateless, but soon it won't be the case.
Instead of creating globals providing source-level information to ASan, we will create
metadata nodes/strings which will be turned into actual global variables in the
backend (if needed).
