Summary:
The patch removes OffsetToFirstDefinition in the 'scope bytes total'
statistic computation. Thus it unifies the way the scope and the coverage
buckets are computed. The rationals behind that are the following:
1. OffsetToFirstDefinition was used to calculate the variable's life range.
However, there is no simple way to do it accurately, so the scope calculated
this way might be misleading. See D69027 for more details on the subject.
2. Both 'scope bytes total' and coverage buckets seem to be intended
to represent the same data in different ways. Otherwise, the statistics
might be controversial and confusing.
Note that the approach gives up a thorough evaluation of debug information
completeness (i.e. coverage buckets by themselves doesn't tell how good
the debug information is). Only changes in coverage over time make
a 'physical' sense.

The tool reports verbose output for the DWARF debug location coverage.
The llvm-locstats for each variable or formal parameter DIE computes what
percentage from the code section bytes, where it is in scope, it has
location description. The line 0 shows the number (and the percentage) of
DIEs with no location information, but the line 100 shows the number (and
the percentage) of DIEs where there is location information in all code
section bytes (where the variable or parameter is in the scope). The line
50..59 shows the number (and the percentage) of DIEs where the location
information is in between 50 and 59 percentage of its scope covered.

The tool will be very useful for tracking improvements regarding the
"debugging optimized code" support with LLVM ecosystem.
