This patch adjusts _when_ something happens in LiveDebugValues /
InstrRefBasedLDV, to make it more amenable to dealing with DBG_INSTR_REF
instructions. There's no functional change.
In the current InstrRefBasedLDV implementation, we collect the machine
value-number transfer function for blocks at the same time as the
variable-value transfer function. After solving machine value numbers, the
variable-value transfer function is updated so that DBG_VALUEs of live-in
registers have the correct value. The same would need to be done for
DBG_INSTR_REFs, to connect instruction-references with machine value
numbers.
Rather than writing more code for that, this patch separates the two: we
collect the (machine-value-number) transfer function and solve for
machine value numbers, then step through the MachineInstrs again collecting
the variable value transfer function. This simplifies things for the new
few patches.

This was landed but reverted in 5b9c2b1bea7 due to asan picking up a memory
leak. This is fixed in the change to InstrRefBasedImpl.cpp. Original
commit message follows:
[LiveDebugValues][NFC] Add instr-ref tests, adapt old tests
This patch adds a few tests in DebugInfo/MIR/InstrRef/ of interesting
behaviour that the instruction referencing implementation of
LiveDebugValues has. Mostly, these tests exist to ensure that if you
give the "-experimental-debug-variable-locations" command line switch,
the right implementation runs; and to ensure it behaves the same way as
the VarLoc LiveDebugValues implementation.
I've also touched roughly 30 other tests, purely to make the tests less
rigid about what output to accept. DBG_VALUE instructions are usually
printed with a trailing !debug-location indicating its scope:
!debug-location !1234
However InstrRefBasedLDV produces new DebugLoc instances on the fly,
meaning there sometimes isn't a numbered node when they're printed,
making the output:
!debug-location !DILocation(line: 0, blah blah)
Which causes a ton of these tests to fail. This patch removes checks for
that final part of each DBG_VALUE instruction. None of them appear to
be actually checking the scope is correct, just that it's present, so
I don't believe there's any loss in coverage here.

This patch imports the instruction-referencing implementation of
LiveDebugValues proposed here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142368.html
The new implementation is unreachable in this patch, it's the next patch
that enables it behind a command line switch. Briefly, rather than
tracking variable locations by just their location as the 'VarLoc'
implementation does, this implementation does it by value:
* Each value defined in a function is numbered, and propagated through
dataflow,
* Each DBG_VALUE reads a machine value number from a machine location,
* Variable _values_ are propagated through dataflow,
* Variable values are translated back into locations, DBG_VALUEs
inserted to specify where those locations are.
The ultimate aim of this is to enable referring to variable values
throughout post-isel code, rather than locations. Those patches will
build on top of this new LiveDebugValues implementation in later patches
-- it can't be done with the VarLoc implementation as we don't have
value information, only locations.
