Another attempt to land the changes in debug line header to prevent duplicate
files in Dwarf 5. I rolled back my previous commit because of a mistake in
generating the object file in a test. Meanwhile, I addressed some offline
comments and changed the implementation; the largest difference is that
MCDwarfLineTableHeader does not keep DwarfVersion but gets it as a parameter. I
also merged the patch to fix two lld tests that will strt to fail into this
patch.

Original Message:
Motivation: In previous dwarf versions, file name indexes started from 1, and
the primary source file was not explicit. Dwarf 5 standard (6.2.4) prescribes
the primary source file to be explicitly given an entry with an index number 0.
The current implementation honors the specification by just duplicating the
main source file, once with index number 0, and later maybe with another
index number. While this is compliant with the letter of the standard, the
duplication causes problems for consumers of this information such as lldb.
(Some files are duplicated, where only some of them have a line table although
all refer to the same file)
With this change, dwarf 5 debug line section files always start from 0, and
the zeroth entry is not duplicated whenever possible. This requires different
handling of dwarf 4 and dwarf 5 during generation (e.g. when a function returns
an index zero for a file name, it signals an error in dwarf 4, but not in dwarf
5) However, I think the minor complication is worth it, because it enables all
consumers (lldb, gdb, dwarfdump, objdump, and so on) to treat all files in the
file name list homogenously.

This reverts commit rL357020.
The commit broke the test llvm/test/tools/llvm-objdump/embedded-source.test
on some builds including clang-ppc64be-linux-multistage,
clang-s390x-linux, clang-with-lto-ubuntu, clang-x64-windows-msvc,
llvm-clang-lld-x86_64-scei-ps4-windows10pro-fast (and others).

Reapply rL356941 after regenerating the object file in the failing test
llvm/test/tools/llvm-objdump/embedded-source.test from source.

In some cases, for example when compiling a preprocessed file, the
front-end is not able to provide an MD5 checksum for all files. When
that happens, omit the MD5 checksums from the final DWARF, because
DWARF doesn't have a way to indicate that some but not all files have
a checksum.
When assembling a .s file, and some but not all .file directives
provide an MD5 checksum, issue a warning and don't emit MD5 into the
DWARF.
Fixes PR37623.
