Background
----------
Now that Swift AST type support in LLDB has matured, we can stop emitting DWARF
type information by default to reduce compile time and ibject file size.
A future commit will change -g to emit only AST type references.
The full set of debug options will be
-gnone
-gline-tables-only
-g // AST types (= everything that LLDB needs)
-gdwarf-types // AST types + DWARF types (for legacy debuggers)
This saves ~4 seconds of a -r --no-assertions stdlib build and lowers
the contribution of llvm::SourceMgr::getLineAndColumn() to the total
runtime from 6% to 2%.

This removes an assertion that no longer serves its purpose and
relaxes the IRBuilder checks for debug info when generating code
inside the debugger.
When LLDB is JIT-compiling expressions, it will not generate a
SWIFT_ENTRY_POINT_FUNCTION (there will be one per expression)
but it will still generate the equivalent of top level code.

It is not valid LLVM IR to have a function call without a location to an
inlinable function inside a function with debug info — this makes it impossible
to construct inline information.
This patch adds an assertion and fixes up several places across IRGen where
such a situation could happen.

For many local values we can avoid a shadow alloca by directly
describing them with a dbg.value. This also enables precise liveness
so variables don't show up in the debugger before they are
initialized. Unfortunately this also means that values will disappear
when they are no longer needed.
This patch inserts an empty inline assembler expression depending on
the llvm::Value that is being described in the blocks dominated by it.
This uses less stack space than full shadow copies *and* allows us to
track the liveness of the variable completely. It may cause values to
be spilled onto the stack, though.

LLVM drops debug intrinsics for undef values in SelectionDAG and FastISel.
Until this is fixed, emit a constant 0 to force the variable to be emitted.

Previously we were using "has public visibility" as a proxy for
"comes from user code", which was OK because all global variables
had public linkage, even if they were internal or private in
the AST.
Now that this is about to change, let's check that we have a
SILLocation instead.

a bunch of heuristics that are no longer necessary.
To enable this, this commit also includes a bugfix to debug info for
opaque data structures with the correct size and alignment information.

Original commit message:
Serialize debug scope and location info in the SIL assembler language.
At the moment it is only possible to test the effects that SIL
optimization passes have on debug information by observing the
effects of a full .swift -> LLVM IR compilation. This change enable us
to write targeted testcases for single SIL optimization passes.
The new syntax is as follows:
sil-scope-ref ::= 'scope' [0-9]+
sil-scope ::= 'sil_scope' [0-9]+ '{'
sil-loc
'parent' scope-parent
('inlined_at' sil-scope-ref )?
'}'
scope-parent ::= sil-function-name ':' sil-type
scope-parent ::= sil-scope-ref
sil-loc ::= 'loc' string-literal ':' [0-9]+ ':' [0-9]+
Each instruction may have a debug location and a SIL scope reference
at the end. Debug locations consist of a filename, a line number, and
a column number. If the debug location is omitted, it defaults to the
location in the SIL source file. SIL scopes describe the position
inside the lexical scope structure that the Swift expression a SIL
instruction was generated from had originally. SIL scopes also hold
inlining information.

remove the mixed concept that was SILFileLocation.
Also add support for a third type of underlying storage that will be used
for deserialized debug lcoations from textual SIL.

Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
inlined-at chain.
The previous implementation was only correct for cases where the inliner
inlined bottom-up in the call graph, which happened to cover the majority
of all cases.
