This reapplication changes debug intrinsic declaration removal to only take
place when printing final IR, so that the processing format of the Module
does not affect the output.
This reverts commit d128448efdd4e2bf3c9bc9a5b43ae642aa78026f.
Reverted due to failures on buildbots, where a new cl flag was placed
in the wrong file, resulting in link errors.

This reverts commit 0b398256b3f72204ad1f7c625efe4990204e898a.
This patch adds support for printing the proposed non-instruction debug
info ("RemoveDIs") out to textual IR. This patch does not add any
bitcode support, parsing support, or documentation.
Printing of the new format is controlled by a flag added in this patch,
`--write-experimental-debuginfo`, which defaults to false. The new
format will be printed *iff* this flag is true, so whether we use the IR
format is completely independent of whether we use non-instruction debug
info during LLVM passes (which is controlled by the
`--try-experimental-debuginfo-iterators` flag).
Even with the flag disabled, some existing tests need to be updated, as this
patch causes debug intrinsic declarations to be changed in a round trip,
such that they always appear at the end of a module and have no attributes
(this has no functional change on the module).
The design of this new IR format was proposed previously on
Discourse, and any further discussion about the design can still be
contributed there:

Some of these show improvements. outlining-bitcasts.ll might not be
relevant anymore (or should be rewritten to test some other type of
non-pointer bitcast).
This adds a cost model that takes into account the total number of
machine instructions to be removed from each region, the number of
instructions added by adding a new function with a set of instructions,
and the instructions added by handling arguments.
