With intrinsics representing debug-info, we just clone all the
intrinsics when inlining a function and don't think about it any
further. With non-instruction debug-info however we need to be a bit
more careful and manually move the debug-info from one place to another.
For the most part, this means keeping a "cursor" during block cloning of
where we last copied debug-info from, and performing debug-info copying
whenever we successfully clone another instruction.
There are several utilities in LLVM for doing this, all of which now
need to manually call cloneDebugInfo. The testing story for this is not
well covered as we could rely on normal instruction-cloning mechanisms
to do all the hard stuff. Thus, I've added a few tests to explicitly
test dbg.value behaviours, ahead of them becoming not-instructions.
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.
