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.

Follow-up to r289256, address a FIXME to avoid resetting the column
number. This reduced .debug_line by 2.6% in a RelWithDebInfo
self-build of clang.

DWARF specifies that "line 0" really means "no appropriate source
location" in the line table. By default, use this for branch targets
and some other cases that have no specified source location, to
prevent inheriting unfortunate line numbers from physically preceding
instructions (which might be from completely unrelated source).
Updated patch allows enabling or suppressing this behavior for all
unspecified source locations.

This reapplies revision 285093. Original commit message:
The branch folding pass tail merges blocks into a common-tail. However, the
tail retains the debug information from one of the original inputs to the
merge (chosen randomly). This is a problem for sampled-based PGO, as hits
on the common-tail will be attributed to whichever block was chosen,
irrespective of which path was actually taken to the common-tail.
This patch fixes the issue by nulling the debug location for the common-tail.

This reverts r285093, as it caused unexpected buildbot failures on
clang-ppc64le-linux, clang-ppc64be-linux, clang-ppc64be-linux-multistage
and clang-ppc64be-linux-lnt. Failing test ubsan/TestCases/TypeCheck/vptr.cpp.
