This patch reverses the edge from DIGlobalVariable to GlobalVariable.
This will allow us to more easily preserve debug info metadata when
manipulating global variables.
Fixes PR30362. A program for upgrading test cases is attached to that
bug.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

When a variable is described by a single DBG_VALUE instruction we can
often use a more efficient inline DW_AT_location instead of using a
location list.
This commit makes the heuristic that decides when to apply this
optimization stricter by also verifying that the DBG_VALUE is live at the
entry of the function (instead of just checking that it is valid until
the end of the function).

Summary:
In r257979, I added code to ensure that we wouldn't merge DebugLocEntries if
the pieces they describe overlap. Unfortunately, I failed to cover the case,
where there may have multiple active Expressions in the entry, in which case we
need to make sure that no two values overlap before we can perform the merge.
This fixed PR26148.
