This reapplies 54a61c94f9, its follow up in 547b712500, which were
reverted 95fe61e639. Original commit message:
VarLoc based LiveDebugValues will abandon variable location propagation if
there are too many blocks and variable assignments in the function. If it
didn't, and we had (say) 1000 blocks and 1000 variables in scope, we'd end
up with 1 million DBG_VALUEs just at the start of blocks.
Instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues should honour this limitation too
(because the same limitation applies to it). Hoist the relevant command
line options into LiveDebugValues.cpp and pass it down into the
implementation classes as an argument to ExtendRanges. I've duplicated all
the run-lines in live-debug-values-cutoffs.mir to have an
instruction-referencing flavour.

In various circumstances, when we clobber a register there may be
alternative locations that the value is live in. The classic example would
be a value loaded from the stack, and then clobbered: the value is still
available on the stack. InstrRefBasedLDV was coping with this at block
starts where it's forced to pick a location, however it wasn't searching
for alternative locations when values were clobbered.
This patch notifies the "Transfer Tracker" object when clobbers occur, and
it's able to find alternatives and issue DBG_VALUEs for that location. See:
the added test.

This patch adds the -Xclang option
"-fexperimental-debug-variable-locations" and same LLVM CodeGen option,
to pick which variable location tracking solution to use.
Right now all the switch does is pick which LiveDebugValues
implementation to use, the normal VarLoc one or the instruction
referencing one in rGae6f78824031. Over time, the aim is to add fragments
of support in aid of the value-tracking RFC:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-February/139440.html
also controlled by this command line switch. That will slowly move
variable locations to be defined by an instruction calculating a value,
and a DBG_INSTR_REF instruction referring to that value. Thus, this is
going to grow into a "use the new kind of variable locations" switch,
rather than just "use the new LiveDebugValues implementation".

This patch renames the current LiveDebugValues class to "VarLocBasedLDV"
and removes the pass-registration code from it. It creates a separate
LiveDebugValues class that deals with pass registration and management,
that calls through to VarLocBasedLDV::ExtendRanges when
runOnMachineFunction is called. This is done through the "LDVImpl"
abstract class, so that a future patch can install the new
instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues implementation and have it
picked at runtime.
No functional change is intended, just shuffling responsibilities.
