This came out of a recent discussion on llvm-dev
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D38042). Currently the Verifier will strip
the debug info metadata from a module if it finds the dbeug info to be
malformed. This feature is very valuable since it allows us to improve
the Verifier by making it stricter without breaking bcompatibility,
but arguable the Verifier pass should not be modifying the IR. This
patch moves the stripping of broken debug info into AutoUpgrade
(UpgradeDebugInfo to be precise), which is a much better location for
this since the stripping of malformed (i.e., produced by older, buggy
versions of Clang) is a (harsh) form of AutoUpgrade.
This change is mostly NFC in nature, the one big difference is the
behavior when LLVM module passes are introducing malformed debug
info. Prior to this patch, a NoAsserts build would have printed a
warning and stripped the debug info, after this patch the Verifier
will report a fatal error. I believe this behavior is actually more
desirable anyway.

This patch introduces a new option -lto-strip-invalid-debug-info, which
drops malformed debug info from the input.
The problem I'm trying to solve with this sequence of patches is that
historically we've done a really bad job at verifying debug info. We want
to be able to make the verifier stricter without having to worry about
breaking bitcode compatibility with existing producers. For example, we
don't necessarily want IR produced by an older version of clang to be
rejected by an LTO link just because of malformed debug info, and rather
provide an option to strip it. Note that merely outdated (but well-formed)
debug info would continue to be auto-upgraded in this scenario.
