Enable .debug_loc section for NVPTX backend.
This commit makes NVPTX omit DW_AT_low_pc (and DW_AT_high_pc) for
DW_TAG_compile_unit. This is because cuda-gdb uses the compile unit's
low_pc as a base address, and adds the addresses in the debug_loc
section to it. Removing low_pc is equivalent to setting that base
address to zero, so addition doesn't break the location ranges.
Additionally, this patch forces debug_loc label emission to emit single
labels with no subtraction or base. This would not be necessary if we
could emit `label1 - label2` expressions in PTX. The PTX documentation
at
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/index.html#debugging-directives-section
makes it seem like this is supported, but it doesn't actually work. I
believe when that documentation says that you can subtract “label
addresses between labels in the same dwarf section”, it doesn't merely
mean that the labels need to be in the same section as each other, but
in fact they need to be in the same section as the use. If support for
label subtraction is supported such that in the debug_loc section you
can subtract labels from the main code section, then we can remove the
workarounds added in this PR.
Also, since this now emits valid .debug_loc sections, it replaces the
empty .debug_loc to force existence of at least one debug section with
an empty .debug_macinfo section, which matches what nvcc does.
ptxas is a proprietary compiler from Nvidia that can compile PTX to
machine code (SASS). It has a lot of diagnostics to catch errors
in PTX, which can be used to verify PTX output from llc.
Set -DPXTAS_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/ptxas CMake option to enable it.
If this option is not set, then ptxas is substituted to true which
effectively disables all ptxas RUN lines.
LLVM_PTXAS_EXECUTABLE environment variable takes precedence over
the CMake option, and allows to override ptxas executable that is used for LIT
without complete re-configuration.

Summary:
If the LLVM module shows that it has debug info, but the file is
actually empty and the real debug info is not emitted, the ptxas tool
emits error 'Debug information not found in presence of .target debug'.
We need at leas one empty debug section to silence this message. Section
`.debug_loc` is not emitted for PTX and we can emit empty `.debug_loc`
section if `debug` option was emitted.

Enable full support for the debug info. Recommit to fix the emission of
the not required closing brace.
