Joel E. Denny 48421ac441 [OpenMP] Improve ref count debug messages
For example, without this patch:

```
$ cat test.c
int main() {
  int x;
  #pragma omp target enter data map(alloc: x)
  #pragma omp target exit data map(release: x)
  ;
  return 0;
}
$ clang -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda test.c
$ LIBOMPTARGET_DEBUG=1 ./a.out |& grep 'Creating\|Mapping exists'
Libomptarget --> Creating new map entry with HstPtrBegin=0x00007ffcace8e448, TgtPtrBegin=0x00007f12ef600000, Size=4, Name=unknown
Libomptarget --> Mapping exists with HstPtrBegin=0x00007ffcace8e448, TgtPtrBegin=0x00007f12ef600000, Size=4, updated RefCount=1
```

There are two problems in this example:

* `RefCount` is not reported when a mapping is created, but it might
  be 1 or infinite.  In this case, because it's created by `omp target
  enter data`, it's 1.  Seeing that would make later `RefCount`
  messages easier to understand.
* `RefCount` is still 1 at the `omp target exit data`, but it's
  reported as `updated`.  The reason it's still 1 is that, upon
  deletions, the reference count is generally not updated in
  `DeviceTy::getTgtPtrBegin`, where the report is produced.  Instead,
  it's zeroed later in `DeviceTy::deallocTgtPtr`, where it's actually
  removed from the mapping table.

This patch makes the following changes:

* Report the reference count when creating a mapping.
* Where an existing mapping is reported, always report a reference
  count action:
    * `update suppressed` when `UpdateRefCount=false`
    * `incremented`
    * `decremented`
    * `deferred final decrement`, which replaces the misleading
      `updated` in the above example
* Add comments to `DeviceTy::getTgtPtrBegin` to explain why it does
  not zero the reference count.  (Please advise if these comments miss
  the point.)
* For unified shared memory, don't report confusing messages like
  `RefCount=` or `RefCount= updated` given that reference counts are
  irrelevant in this case.  Instead, just report `for unified shared
  memory`.
* Use `INFO` not `DP` consistently for `Mapping exists` messages.
* Fix device table dumps to print `INF` instead of `-1` for an
  infinite reference count.

OpenMP LLVM Documentation
==================

OpenMP LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.

If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
    make
    $BROWSER <build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/index.html

The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/Foo.html` <->
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`llvm/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing
documentation very fast and includes examples of the most important
reStructuredText markup syntax.

Manpage Output
===============

Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
    make
    man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1

The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
