This patch trivially updates various opt passes to handle DPVAssigns. In
all cases, this means some combination of generifying existing code to
handle DPValues and DbgAssignIntrinsics, iterating over DPValues where
previously we did not, or duplicating code for DbgAssignIntrinsics to
the equivalent DPValue function (in inlining and salvageDebugInfo).
updateForDeletedStore updates the assignment tracking debug info for a store
that is about to be deleted by mem2reg. For each variable backed by the target
alloca, if a dbg.assign exists it is kept (well - it's downgraded to a
dbg.value). A dbg.value is inserted if there's not a linked dbg.assign for a
variable which is backed by the target alloca. This patch fixes a bug whereby a
store with a linked dbg.assign that describes a fragment different to the one
linked to the alloca was not counted for the variable, leading to both keeping
the dbg.assign (downgrading it) and inserting a new dbg.value.

For fully promoted variables dbg.assigns and dbg.values convey the same
information and can be used interchangeably. This patch converts dbg.assigns to
dbg.values for variables promoted by mem2reg. This reduces resource usage by
reducing the amount of unnecessary function local metadata. The compile time
tracker reports that CTMark projects build with LTO-O3-g with 0.4% fewer
instructions retired and peak memory usage is reduced by 2.2%.

Remove LLVM flag -experimental-assignment-tracking. Assignment tracking is
still enabled from Clang with the command line -Xclang
-fexperimental-assignment-tracking which tells Clang to ask LLVM to run the
pass declare-to-assign. That pass converts conventional debug intrinsics to
assignment tracking metadata. With this patch it now also sets a module flag
debug-info-assignment-tracking with the value `i1 true` (using the flag conflict
rule `Max` since enabling assignment tracking on IR that contains only
conventional debug intrinsics should cause no issues).
Update the docs and tests too.

The changes for assignment tracking in mem2reg don't require much of a
deviation from existing behaviour. dbg.assign intrinsics linked to an alloca
are treated much in the same way as dbg.declare users of an alloca, except that
we don't insert dbg.value intrinsics to describe assignments when there is
already a dbg.assign intrinsic present, e.g. one linked to a store that is
going to be removed.
