Introduce a helper which can be used to update the debug location of an
Instruction after the instruction is hoisted. This can be used to safely
drop a source location as recommended by the docs.

Introduce a helper on Instruction which can be used to update the debug
location after hoisting.
Use this in GVN and LICM, where we were mistakenly introducing new line
0 locations after hoisting (the docs recommend dropping the location in
this case).
For more context, see the discussion in https://reviews.llvm.org/D60913.

This is a follow-up to r291037+r291258, which used null debug locations
to prevent jumpy line tables.
Using line 0 locations achieves the same effect, but works better for
crash attribution because it preserves the right inline scope.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.
