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.

Since users typically don't really care about the .dwo / non.dwo
distinction, this patch makes it so dwarfdump --debug-<info,...> dumps
.debug_info and (if available) also .debug_info.dwo. This simplifies
the command line interface (I've removed all dwo-specific dump
options) and makes the tool friendlier to use.

As discussed on llvm-dev in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-September/117301.html
this changes the command line interface of llvm-dwarfdump to match the
one used by the dwarfdump utility shipping on macOS. In addition to
being shorter to type this format also has the advantage of allowing
more than one section to be specified at the same time.
In a nutshell, with this change
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=info
$ llvm-dwarfdump --debug-dump=apple-objc
becomes
$ dwarfdump --debug-info --apple-objc

The %T lit expansion expands to a common directory shared between all the tests in the same directory, which is unexpected and unintuitive, and more importantly, it's been a source of subtle race conditions and flaky tests. In https://reviews.llvm.org/D35396, it was agreed that it would be best to simply ban %T and only keep %t, which is unique to each test. When a test needs a temporary directory, it can just create one using mkdir %t.
This patch removes %T in llvm.

This is really a workaround for ThinLTO in particular - since it can
import partial CUs that may end up looking very similar/the same as
the same partial import in another ThinLTO compile.
An alternative fix would be to change the DICompileUnit metadata to
include a "primary file" or the like - and when importing for ThinLTO
set the primary file to the name of the DICompileUnit that is being
imported into. This involves changing the schema and would reduce the
excessive uniqueness in the hash that this change creates - allowing
diagnosing of more duplicate CUs than will be caught with this change.
But duplicate CUs can still be caught in non-ThinLTO builds & are mostly
a nuisance rather than a particularly deliberate/effective tool for
finding broken code. (arguably the hash could always include the dwo
file and nothing in fission would break, I think..)
Reapply of r304119 after adding a triple to the test and moving it
to the X86 directory.
