Summary:
This allows us to test each backend pass under the presence
of debug info using pre-existing tests. The tests should not
fail as a result of this so long as it's true that debug info
does not affect CodeGen.
In practice, a few tests are sensitive to this:
* Tests that check the pass structure (e.g. O0-pipeline.ll)
* Tests that check --debug output. Specifically instruction
dumps containing MMO's (e.g. prelegalizercombiner-extends.ll)
* Tests that contain debugify metadata as mir-strip-debug will
remove it (e.g. fastisel-debugvalue-undef.ll)
* Tests with partial debug info (e.g.
patchable-function-entry-empty.mir had debug info but no
!llvm.dbg.cu)
* Tests that check optimization remarks overly strictly (e.g.
prologue-epilogue-remarks.mir)
* Tests that would inject the pass in an unsafe region (e.g.
seqpairspill.mir would inject between register alloc and
virt reg rewriter)
In all cases, the checks can either be updated or
--debugify-and-strip-all-safe=0 can be used to avoid being
affected by something like llvm-lit -Dllc='llc --debugify-and-strip-all-safe'
I tested this without the lost debug locations verifier to
confirm that AArch64 behaviour is unaffected (with the fixes
in this patch) and with it to confirm it finds the problems
without the additional RUN lines we had before.

The current FirstMI.getDebugLoc() is actually null in almost all cases.
If it isn't, the generated .loc will be considered initial. The .loc
will have the prologue_end flag and terminate the prologue prematurely.
Also use an overload of BuildMI that will not prepend
PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY to a MachineInstr bundle.
