This patch reverses the edge from DIGlobalVariable to GlobalVariable.
This will allow us to more easily preserve debug info metadata when
manipulating global variables.
Fixes PR30362. A program for upgrading test cases is attached to that
bug.

As discovered in PR27758, GDB does not fully support the DWARF 4 format.
This patch ensures we always emit bitfields in the DWARF 2 when tuning for GDB.
llvm-svn: 269827
The DWARF spec states that a member entry may have either a
DW_AT_data_member_location or a DW_AT_data_bit_offset, but not both.
This fixes a bug found in PR 27758.
llvm-svn: 269731
The DWARF2 specification of DW_AT_bit_offset was written from the perspective of
a big-endian machine with unclear semantics for other systems. DWARF4
deprecated DW_AT_bit_offset and introduced a new attribute DW_AT_data_bit_offset
that simply counts the number of bits from the beginning of the containing
entity regardless of endianness.
After this patch LLVM emits DW_AT_bit_offset for DWARF 2 or 3 and
DW_AT_data_bit_offset when DWARF 4 or later is requested.
