This patch makes the final major change of the RemoveDIs project, changing the
default IR output from debug intrinsics to debug records. This is expected to
break a large number of tests: every single one that tests for uses or
declarations of debug intrinsics and does not explicitly disable writing
records.
If this patch has broken your downstream tests (or upstream tests on a
configuration I wasn't able to run):
1. If you need to immediately unblock a build, pass
`--write-experimental-debuginfo=false` to LLVM's option processing for all
failing tests (remember to use `-mllvm` for clang/flang to forward arguments to
LLVM).
2. For most test failures, the changes are trivial and mechanical, enough that
they can be done by script; see the migration guide for a guide on how to do
this: https://llvm.org/docs/RemoveDIsDebugInfo.html#test-updates
3. If any tests fail for reasons other than FileCheck check lines that need
updating, such as assertion failures, that is most likely a real bug with this
patch and should be reported as such.

D147129 causes the assignment tracking pass to skip optnone functions, which
ends up overriding the "-fexperimental-assignment-tracking=forced" option at
O0. Add -disable-O0-optnone to the tests so that optnone doesn't interfere.

Without this patch assignment tracking is enabled with
`-fexperimental-assignment-tracking` and disabled with
`-fno-experimental-assignment-tracking` (default). This patch removes the
`-fno-` version and changes `-fexperimental-assignment-tracking` to take 3
values: `enabled`, `disabled` (default), and `forced`.
`clang -Xclang -fexperimental-assignment-tracking=enabled` enables the feature
if some other conditions are met and `=forced` enables it without any further
checks.
If `enabled` is specified the feature will remain disabled if any of the
following are true: it's an LTO or ThinLTO build, optimisations are not
enabled, or lldb debugger tuning has been specified. See this short RFC

The Assignment Tracking debug-info feature is outlined in this RFC:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/
rfc-assignment-tracking-a-better-way-of-specifying-variable-locations-in-ir
This patch plumbs the AssignmentTrackingPass (AKA declare-to-assign), added in
the previous patch in this set, into the optimisation pipeline from
clang. clang/test/CodeGen/assignment-tracking/assignment-tracking.cpp is the
main test for this patch.
Note: while clang (with the help of the declare-to-assign pass) can now emit
Assignment Tracking metadata, the llvm middle and back ends don't yet
understand it.
