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.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
In DWARF v5 the Line Number Program Header is extensible, allowing values with
new content types. In this extension a content type is added,
DW_LNCT_LLVM_source, which contains the embedded source code of the file.
Add new optional attribute for !DIFile IR metadata called source which contains
source text. Use this to output the source to the DWARF line table of code
objects. Analogously extend METADATA_FILE in Bitcode and .file directive in ASM
to support optional source.
Teach llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-objdump about the new values. Update the output
format of llvm-dwarfdump to make room for the new attribute on file_names
entries, and support embedded sources for the -source option in llvm-objdump.

The major visible difference here is that in line-table dumps,
directory and file names are wrapped in double-quotes; previously,
directory names got single quotes and file names were not quoted at
all.
The improvement in this patch is that when a DWARF v5 line table
header has indirect strings, in a verbose dump these will all have
their section[offset] printed as well as the name itself. This
matches the format used for dumping strings in the .debug_info
section.
