Vedant Kumar 8dfe819bcd [Verifier] Constrain where DILocations may be nested
Summary:
Constrain which metadata nodes are allowed to be, or contain,
DILocations. This ensures that logic for updating DILocations in a
Module is complete.

Currently, !llvm.loop metadata is the only odd duck which contains
nested DILocations. This has caused problems in the past: some passes
forgot to visit the nested locations, leading to subtly broken debug
info and late verification failures.

If there's a compelling reason for some future metadata to nest
DILocations, we'll need to introduce a generic API for updating the
locations attached to an Instruction before relaxing this check.

This directory contains testcases that the verifier is supposed to detect as
malformed LLVM code.  Testcases for situations that the verifier incorrectly
identifies as malformed should go in the test/Assembler directory.
