The purpose of this patch is twofold:
- Fold pre-DWARF v5 functionality into v5 to eliminate the need for 2 different
versions of range list handling. We get rid of DWARFDebugRangelist{.cpp,.h}.
- Templatize the handling of range list tables so that location list handling
can take advantage of it as well. Location list and range list tables have the
same basic layout.
A non-NFC version of this patch was previously submitted with r342218, but it caused
errors with some TSan tests. This patch has no functional changes. The difference to
the non-NFC patch is that there are no changes to rangelist dumping in this patch.

Eliminating some duplication of rangelist dumping code at the expense of
some version-dependent code in dump and extract routines.

Summary:
The accelerator tables use the debug_str section to store their strings.
However, they do not support the indirect method of access that is
available for the debug_info section (DW_FORM_strx et al.).
Currently our code is assuming that all strings can/will be referenced
indirectly, and puts all of them into the debug_str_offsets section.
This is generally true for regular (unsplit) dwarf, but in the DWO case,
most of the strings in the debug_str section will only be used from the
accelerator tables. Therefore the contents of the debug_str_offsets
section will be largely unused and bloating the main executable.
This patch rectifies this by teaching the DwarfStringPool to
differentiate between strings accessed directly and indirectly. When a
user inserts a string into the pool it has to declare whether that
string will be referenced directly or not. If at least one user requsts
indirect access, that string will be assigned an index ID and put into
debug_str_offsets table. Otherwise, the offset table is skipped.
This approach reduces the overall binary size (when compiled with
-gdwarf-5 -gsplit-dwarf) in my tests by about 2% (debug_str_offsets is
shrunk by 99%).

This patch add support for emitting DWARF5 accelerator tables
(.debug_names) from dsymutil. Just as with the Apple style accelerator
tables, it's possible to update existing dSYMs. This patch includes a
test that show how you can convert back and forth between the two types.
If no kind of table is specified, dsymutil will default to generating
Apple-style accelerator tables whenever it finds those in its input. The
same is true when there are no accelerator tables at all. Finally, in
the remaining case, where there's at least one DWARF v5 table and no
Apple ones, the output will contains a DWARF accelerator tables
(.debug_names).

When implementing the DWARF accelerator tables in dsymutil I ran into an
assertion in the assembler. Debugging these kind of issues is a lot
easier when looking at the assembly instead of debugging the assembler
itself. Since it's only a matter of creating an AsmStreamer instead of a
MCObjectStreamer it made sense to turn this into a (hidden) dsymutil
feature.

When emitting a CU, store the MCSymbol pointing to the beginning of the
CU. We'll need this information later when emitting the .debug_names
section (DWARF5 accelerator table).

This patch splits off some abstractions used by dsymutil's dwarf linker
and moves them into separate header and implementation files. This
almost halves the number of LOC in DwarfLinker.cpp and makes it a lot
easier to understand what functionality lives where.
