Consistent with GCC and addresses a shortcoming with ThinLTO where many
imported CUs may end up being empty (because the functions imported from
them either ended up not being used (and were then discarded, since
they're imported as available_externally) or optimized away entirely).
Test cases previously testing empty CUs (either intentionally, or
because they didn't need anything more complicated) had a trivial 'int'
or similar basic type added to their retained types list.
This is a first order approximation - a deeper implementation could do
things like:
1) Be more lazy about construction of the CU - for example if two CUs
containing a single identical retained type are linked together, with
this change one of the two CUs will be produced but empty (since a
duplicate type won't be produced).
2) Go further and invert all the CU links the same way the subprogram
link is inverted - keep named CU lists of retained types, macros, etc,
and have those link back to the CU. Then if they're emitted, the CU is
emitted, but never otherwise - this would allow the metadata itself to
be dropped earlier too, though it seems unlikely that's an important
optimization as there shouldn't be many CUs relative to the number of
other entities.

Turns out gold doesn't use the DW_AT_GNU_pubnames to decide whether to
parse the rest of the DIEs when building gdb-index. This causes gold to
trip over LLVM's output when there are DW_FORM_ref_addr present.
Gold does use the presence of a debug_gnu_pub{names,types} entry for the
CU to skip parsing the debug_info portion, so make sure that's included
even when empty (technically, when empty there couldn't be any ref_addr
anyway - it only came up when gmlt didn't produce any (even non-empty)
pubnames - but given what that reveals about gold's implementation, this
seems like a good thing to do for consistency).

Since Split DWARF needs to name the actual .dwo file that is generated,
it can't be known at the time the llvm::Module is produced as it may be
merged with other Modules before the object is generated and that object
may be generated with any name.
By passing the Split DWARF file name when LLVM is producing object code
the .dwo file name in the object file can match correctly.
The support for Split DWARF for implicit modules remains the same -
using metadata to store the dwo name and dwo id so that potentially
multiple skeleton CUs referring to different dwo files can be generated
from one llvm::Module.

One more attempt to re-commit the patch r285355, which I had to revert in r285362, because some tests were failing (the reason is because the size of the line_table varied depending on the full file name).
In the past the compiler always emitted .debug_line version 2, though some opcodes from DWARF 3 (e.g. DW_LNS_set_prologue_end, DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin or DW_LNS_set_isa) and from DWARF 4 could be emitted by the compiler.
This patch changes version information of .debug_line to exactly match the DWARF version. For .debug_line version 4, a new field maximum_operations_per_instruction is emitted.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

This mostly cosmetic patch moves the DebugEmissionKind enum from DIBuilder
into DICompileUnit. DIBuilder is not the right place for this enum to live
in — a metadata consumer should not have to include DIBuilder.h.
I also added a Verifier check that checks that the emission kind of a
DICompileUnit is actually legal.

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against
by multiple compilers, the default triple is not really meaningful.
We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".
