The macinfo support was broken for LTO situations, by terminating
macinfo lists only once - multiple macinfo contributions were correctly
labeled, but they all continued/flowed into later contributions until
only one terminator appeared at the end of the section.
Correctly terminate each contribution & fix the parsing to handle this
situation too. The parsing fix is also necessary for dumping linked
binaries - the previous code would stop at the end of the first
contribution - missing all later contributions in a linked binary.
It'd be nice to improve the dumping to print the offsets of each
contribution so it'd be easier to know which CU AT_macro_info refers to
which macinfo contribution.
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.

Summary:
If there is no debug info for macros, do not emit labels for empty
macinfo sections.
