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.

Instead of reserving 0xF00 bytes for the fixed length portion of the CodeView
symbol name, calculate the actual length of the fixed length portion.

Avoid duplicating DictScope with hand-written names everywhere. Print
the S_-prefixed symbol kind for every record. This should make it easier
to search for certain kinds of records when debugging PDB linking.

If we don't truncate, LLVM asserts when the label difference doesn't fit
in a 16 bit field. This patch truncates two kinds of data: trailing null
terminated names in symbol records, and inline line tables. The inline
line table test that I have is too large (many MB), so I'm not checking
it in.
Hopefully fixes PR28264.
