Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

I knee-jerk tried to fix this in completely the wrong way - it's not an
CPU limitation, but an OS/object file type one, so moving it
into a CPU-specific classification didn't help at all.

This is handy for some AutoFDO stuff, and seems like a minor improvement
to correctness (otherwise a debug info consumer might think the decl
line/file of the def was the same as that of the declaration - though
what a consumer might use that for, I'm not sure - maybe "list <func>"
would've misbehaved with the old behavior?) and at a minor cost (in my
experiment, with fission, without type units, without compression, 0.01%
growth in debug info in the executable/objects, 0.02% growth in the .dwo
files).

The test requires X86 target support, and checks the actual debug
info contents, including register numbers which would be different on
other platforms.

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against
by multiple compilers, the default triple is not really meaningful.
We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".
