This patch imports the instruction-referencing implementation of
LiveDebugValues proposed here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142368.html
The new implementation is unreachable in this patch, it's the next patch
that enables it behind a command line switch. Briefly, rather than
tracking variable locations by just their location as the 'VarLoc'
implementation does, this implementation does it by value:
* Each value defined in a function is numbered, and propagated through
dataflow,
* Each DBG_VALUE reads a machine value number from a machine location,
* Variable _values_ are propagated through dataflow,
* Variable values are translated back into locations, DBG_VALUEs
inserted to specify where those locations are.
The ultimate aim of this is to enable referring to variable values
throughout post-isel code, rather than locations. Those patches will
build on top of this new LiveDebugValues implementation in later patches
-- it can't be done with the VarLoc implementation as we don't have
value information, only locations.

This patch renames the current LiveDebugValues class to "VarLocBasedLDV"
and removes the pass-registration code from it. It creates a separate
LiveDebugValues class that deals with pass registration and management,
that calls through to VarLocBasedLDV::ExtendRanges when
runOnMachineFunction is called. This is done through the "LDVImpl"
abstract class, so that a future patch can install the new
instruction-referencing LiveDebugValues implementation and have it
picked at runtime.
No functional change is intended, just shuffling responsibilities.
