Summary: The lit feature object-emission was added because Hexagon did not support the integrated assembler, so some tests needed to be turned off with a Hexagon target. Hexagon now supports the integrated assembler, so this feature can be removed.

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.

- when tuning for SCE debugger (default for ps4 targets), we will not emit
the DW_AT_linkage_name, which this test needs. I explicitly set the
debugger tuning parameter to get the attribute always.
- darwin targets did not like the "section .text.startup" fragment of
the test. This is not actually needed for the test, so I remove it.

Summary:
We were emitting accelerator entries for functions with no name, which
is contrary to the DWARF v5 spec: "All other (i.e., *not*
DW_TAG_namespace) debugging information entries without a DW_AT_name
attribute are excluded." Besides that, a name table entry with an empty
string as a key is fairly useless.
We can sometimes end up with functions which have a DW_AT_linkage_name but no
DW_AT_name. One such example is the global-constructor-initialization functions,
which C++ compilers synthesize for each compilation unit with global
constructors.
A very strict reading of the DWARF v5 spec would suggest that we should not even
emit the accelerator entry for the linkage name in this case, but I don't think
we should go that far.
I found this when running the dwarf verifier over llvm codebase compiled
with DWARF v5 accelerator tables.
