Summary: Add a RemoveRedundantDbgInstrs to BasicBlockUtils with the goal to remove redundant dbg intrinsics from a basic block. This can be useful after various transforms, as it might be simpler to do a filtering of dbg intrinsics after the transform than during the transform. One primary use case would be to replace a too aggressive removal done by MergeBlockIntoPredecessor, seen at loop rotate (not done in this patch). The elimination algorithm currently focuses on dbg.value intrinsics and is doing two iterations over the BB. First we iterate backward starting at the last instruction in the BB. Whenever a consecutive sequence of dbg.value instructions are found we keep the last dbg.value for each variable found (variable fragments are identified using the {DILocalVariable, FragmentInfo, inlinedAt} triple as given by the DebugVariable helper class). Next we iterate forward starting at the first instruction in the BB. Whenever we find a dbg.value describing a DebugVariable (identified by {DILocalVariable, inlinedAt}) we save the {DIValue, DIExpression} that describes that variables value. But if the variable already was mapped to the same {DIValue, DIExpression} pair we instead drop the second dbg.value. To ease the process of making lit tests for this utility a new pass is introduced called RedundantDbgInstElimination. It can be executed by opt using -redundant-dbg-inst-elim.
