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).
