Before this patch, debugify would insert debug value intrinsics before the
terminating instruction in a block. This had the advantage of being simple,
but was a bit too simple/unrealistic.
This patch teaches debugify to insert debug values immediately after their
operand defs. This enables better testing of the compiler.
For example, with this patch, `opt -debugify-each` is able to identify a
vectorizer DI-invariance bug fixed in llvm.org/PR32761. In this bug, the
vectorizer produced different output with/without debug info present.
Reverting Davide's bugfix locally, I see:

:: Found a test case ^
Running this over the *.ll files in tree, I found four additional examples
which compile differently with/without DI present. I plan on filing bugs for
these.

Setting the "Debug Info Version" module flag makes it possible to pipe
synthetic debug info into llc, which is useful for testing backends.

According to `llvm-dwarfdump --statistics` this salvages 43 additional
unique source variables in a stage2 build of clang. It increases the
size of the .debug_loc section by 0.002% (or 2864 bytes).
