This change simplifies code that has to deal with
DIGlobalVariableExpression and mirrors how we treat DIExpressions in
debug info intrinsics. Before this change there were two ways of
representing empty expressions on globals, a nullptr and an empty
!DIExpression().
If someone needs to upgrade out-of-tree testcases:
perl -pi -e 's/(!DIGlobalVariableExpression\(var: ![0-9]*)\)/\1, expr: !DIExpression())/g' <MYTEST.ll>
will catch 95%.

In ValueMapper we create new operands for MDNodes and
rely on MDNode::replaceWithUniqued to create a new MDNode
with the specified operands. However this doesn't always
actually happen correctly for DISubprograms because when we
uniquify the new node, we only odr-compare it with existing nodes
(MDNodeSubsetEqualImpl<DISubprogram>::isDeclarationOfODRMember). Although
the TemplateParameters field can refer to a distinct DICompileUnit via
DITemplateTypeParameter::type -> DICompositeType::scope -> DISubprogram::unit,
it is not currently included in the odr comparison. As a result, we can end
up getting our original DISubprogram back, which means we will have a cloned
module referring to the DICompileUnit in the original module, which causes
a verification error.
The fix I implemented was to consider TemplateParameters to be one of the
odr-equal properties. But I'm a little uncomfortable with this. In general it
seems unsound to rely on distinct MDNodes never being reachable from nodes
which we only check odr-equality of. My only long term suggestion would be
to separate odr-uniquing from full uniquing.
