variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.

separate MDNode so they can be uniqued via folding set magic. To conserve
space, DIVariable nodes are still variable-length, with the last two
fields being optional.
No functional change.

This allows us to catch more opportunities for ODR-based type uniquing
during LTO.
Paired commit with CFE which updates some testcases to verify the new
DIBuilder behavior.

This updates the debug info metadata schema documentation for various
schema changes made recently surrounding filename information for
scopes and the representation of imported entities.
