This optimization allows the DWARF linker to reuse definition of
types it has emitted in previous CUs rather than reemitting them
in each CU that references them. The size and link time gains are
huge. For example when linking the DWARF for a debug build of
clang, this generates a ~150M dwarf file instead of a ~700M one
(the numbers date back a bit and must not be totally accurate
these days).
As with all the other parts of the llvm-dsymutil codebase, the
goal is to keep bit-for-bit compatibility with dsymutil-classic.
The code is littered with a lot of FIXMEs that should be
addressed once we can get rid of the compatibilty goal.

With a couple more constructors that GCC thinks are necessary.
Original commit message:
[dsymutil] Accept a YAML debug map as input instead of a binary.
To do this, the user needs to pass the new -y flag.
As it wasn't tested before, the debug map YAML deserialization was
completely buggy (mainly because the DebugMapObject has a dual
mapping that allows to search by name and by address, but only the
StringMap got populated). It's fixed and tested in this commit by
augmenting some test with a 2 stage dwarf link: a frist llvm-dsymutil
reads the debug map and pipes it in a second instance that does the
actual link without touching the initial binary.

As the serialized debug map is becoming a first class citizen, a way
to cleanly dump it is required. We used -parse-only combined with
-v for that purpose before, but it dumps a lot of unrelated debug
stuff. Dumping the debug map was the only use of the -parse-only flag
anyway, so replace it with a more useful option.

This class is responsible for getting the linked data to the
disk in the appropriate form. Today it it an empty shell that
just instantiates an MC layer.
As we do not put anything in the resulting file yet, we just
check it has the right architecture (and check that -o does
the right thing).
To be able to create all the components, this commit adds a
few dependencies to llvm-dsymutil, namely all-targets, MC and
AsmPrinter.
Also add a -no-output option, so that tests that do not need
the binary result can continue to run even if they do not have
the required target linked in.

utils/sort_includes.py.
I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.

The goal of this tool is to replicate Darwin's dsymutil functionality
based on LLVM. dsymutil is a DWARF linker. Darwin's linker (ld64) does
not link the debug information, it leaves it in the object files in
relocatable form, but embbeds a `debug map` into the executable that
describes where to find the debug information and how to relocate it.
When releasing/archiving a binary, dsymutil is called to link all the DWARF
information into a `dsym bundle` that can distributed/stored along with
the binary.
With this commit, the LLVM based dsymutil is just able to parse the STABS
debug maps embedded by ld64 in linked binaries (and not all of them, for
example archives aren't supported yet).
Note that the tool directory is called dsymutil, but the executable is
currently called llvm-dsymutil. This discrepancy will disappear once the
tool will be feature complete. At this point the executable will be renamed
to dsymutil, but until then you do not want it to override the system one.
