DWARFFormValues can be created from a data extractor or by passing its
value directly. Until now this was done by member functions that
modified an existing object's internal state. This patch replaces a
subset of these methods with static method that return a new
DWARFFormValue.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
The accelerator tables use the debug_str section to store their strings.
However, they do not support the indirect method of access that is
available for the debug_info section (DW_FORM_strx et al.).
Currently our code is assuming that all strings can/will be referenced
indirectly, and puts all of them into the debug_str_offsets section.
This is generally true for regular (unsplit) dwarf, but in the DWO case,
most of the strings in the debug_str section will only be used from the
accelerator tables. Therefore the contents of the debug_str_offsets
section will be largely unused and bloating the main executable.
This patch rectifies this by teaching the DwarfStringPool to
differentiate between strings accessed directly and indirectly. When a
user inserts a string into the pool it has to declare whether that
string will be referenced directly or not. If at least one user requsts
indirect access, that string will be assigned an index ID and put into
debug_str_offsets table. Otherwise, the offset table is skipped.
This approach reduces the overall binary size (when compiled with
-gdwarf-5 -gsplit-dwarf) in my tests by about 2% (debug_str_offsets is
shrunk by 99%).

Previous version of this patch failed on darwin targets because of
different handling of cross-debug-section relocations. This fixes the
tests to emit the DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute correctly in both
cases. Since doing this is a non-trivial amount of code, and I'm going
to need it in more than one test, I've added a helper function to the
dwarfgen DIE class to do it.
Original commit message follows:
The motivation for this is D49493, where we'd like to test details of
debug_str_offsets behavior which is difficult to trigger from a
traditional test.
This adds the plubming necessary for dwarfgen to generate this section.
The more interesting changes are:
- I've moved emitStringOffsetsTableHeader function from DwarfFile to
DwarfStringPool, so I can generate the section header more easily from
the unit test.
- added a new addAttribute overload taking an MCExpr*. This is used to
generate the DW_AT_str_offsets_base, which links a compile unit to the
offset table.
I've also added a basic test for reading and writing DW_form_strx forms.

The AsmPrinter created in the tests contained an uninitialized
TargetLoweringObjectFile. Things mostly worked regardless, because we
used a separate instance of that class to specify sections to emit.
This rearanges the object construction order so that we can avoid
creating two lowering objects. Instead, we properly initialize the
object in the AsmPrinter, and have the DWARF generator store a pointer
to it.

This recommits r337910 after fixing an "ambiguous call to addAttribute"
error with some compilers (gcc circa 4.9 and MSVC). It seems that these
compilers will consider a "false -> pointer" conversion during overload
resolution. This creates ambiguity because one I added an overload which
takes a MCExpr * as an argument.
I fix this by making the new overload take MCExpr&, which avoids the
conversion. It also documents the fact that we expect a valid MCExpr
object.

Summary:
The .debug_line parser previously reported errors by printing to stderr and
return false. This is not particularly helpful for clients of the library code,
as it prevents them from handling the errors in a manner based on the calling
context. This change switches to using llvm::Error and callbacks to indicate
what problems were detected during parsing, and has updated clients to handle
the errors in a location-specific manner. In general, this means that they
continue to do the same thing to external users. Below, I have outlined what
the known behaviour changes are, relating to this change.
There are two levels of "errors" in the new error mechanism, to broadly
distinguish between different fail states of the parser, since not every
failure will prevent parsing of the unit, or of subsequent unit. Malformed
table errors that prevent reading the remainder of the table (reported by
returning them) and other minor issues representing problems with parsing that
do not prevent attempting to continue reading the table (reported by calling a
specified callback funciton). The only example of this currently is when the
last sequence of a unit is unterminated. However, I think it would be good to
change the handling of unrecognised opcodes to report as minor issues as well,
rather than just printing to the stream if --verbose is used (this would be a
subsequent change however).
I have substantially extended the DwarfGenerator to be able to handle
custom-crafted .debug_line sections, allowing for comprehensive unit-testing
of the parser code. For now, I am just adding unit tests to cover the basic
error reporting, and positive cases, and do not currently intend to test every
part of the parser, although the framework should be sufficient to do so at a
later point.
Known behaviour changes:
- The dump function in DWARFContext now does not attempt to read subsequent
tables when searching for a specific offset, if the unit length field of a
table before the specified offset is a reserved value.
- getOrParseLineTable now returns a useful Error if an invalid offset is
encountered, rather than simply a nullptr.
- The parse functions no longer use `WithColor::warning` directly to report
errors, allowing LLD to call its own warning function.
- The existing parse error messages have been updated to not specifically
include "warning" in their message, allowing consumers to determine what
severity the problem is.
- If the line table version field appears to have a value less than 2, an
informative error is returned, instead of just false.
- If the line table unit length field uses a reserved value, an informative
error is returned, instead of just false.
- Dumping of .debug_line.dwo sections is now implemented the same as regular
.debug_line sections.
- Verbose dumping of .debug_line[.dwo] sections now prints the prologue, if
there is a prologue error, just like non-verbose dumping.
As a helper for the generator code, I have re-added emitInt64 to the
AsmPrinter code. This previously existed, but was removed way back in r100296,
presumably because it was dead at the time.
This change also requires a change to LLD, which will be committed separately.

Currently it's not possible to access MCSubtargetInfo from a TgtMCAsmBackend.
D20830 threaded an MCSubtargetInfo reference through
MCAsmBackend::relaxInstruction, but this isn't the only function that would
benefit from access. This patch removes the Triple and CPUString arguments
from createMCAsmBackend and replaces them with MCSubtargetInfo.
This patch just changes the interface without making any intentional
functional changes. Once in, several cleanups are possible:
* Get rid of the awkward MCSubtargetInfo handling in ARMAsmBackend
* Support 16-bit instructions when valid in MipsAsmBackend::writeNopData
* Get rid of the CPU string parsing in X86AsmBackend and just use a SubtargetFeature for HasNopl
* Emit 16-bit nops in RISCVAsmBackend::writeNopData if the compressed instruction set extension is enabled (see D41221)
This change initially exposed PR35686, which has since been resolved in r321026.

I was surprised to see the code model being passed to MC. After all,
it assembles code, it doesn't create it.
The one place it is used is in the expansion of .cfi directives to
handle .eh_frame being more that 2gb away from the code.
As far as I can tell, gnu assembler doesn't even have an option to
enable this. Compiling a c file with gcc -mcmodel=large produces a
regular looking .eh_frame. This is probably because in practice linker
parse and recreate .eh_frames.
In llvm this is used because the JIT can place the code and .eh_frame
very far apart. Ideally we would fix the jit and delete this
option. This is hard.
Apart from confusion another problem with the current interface is
that most callers pass CodeModel::Default, which is bad since MC has
no way to map it to the target default if it actually needed to.
This patch then replaces the argument with a boolean with a default
value. The vast majority of users don't ever need to look at it. In
fact, only CodeGen and llvm-mc use it and llvm-mc just to enable more
testing.

Many places pass around a DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal and a DWARFUnit. It is easy to get things wrong by using the wrong DWARFUnit with a DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal. This patch creates a DWARFDie class that contains the DWARFUnit and DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal objects so that they can't get out of sync. All attribute extraction has been moved out of DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal and into DWARFDie. DWARFDebugInfoEntryMinimal was also renamed to DWARFDebugInfoEntry.
DWARFDie objects are temporary objects that are used by clients and contain 2 pointers that you always need to have anyway. Keeping them grouped will avoid errors and simplify many of the attribute extracting APIs by not having to pass in a DWARFUnit.
