David Stenberg e2f3240472 [DebugInfo] Allow GNU macro extension to be emitted
Allow the GNU .debug_macro extension to be emitted for DWARF versions
earlier than 5. The extension is basically what became DWARF 5's format,
except that a DW_AT_GNU_macros attribute is emitted, and some entries
like the strx entries are missing. In this patch I emit GNU's indirect
entries, which are the same as DWARF 5's strp entries.

This patch adds the extension behind a hidden LLVM flag,
-use-gnu-debug-macro. I would later want to enable it by default when
tuning for GDB and targeting DWARF versions earlier than 5.

The size of a Clang 8.0 binary built with RelWithDebInfo and the flags
"-gdwarf-4 -fdebug-macro" reduces from 1533 MB to 1349 MB with
.debug_macro (compared to 1296 MB without -fdebug-macro).
