file-prefix-map: Fix up -f*-prefix-map= [PR108464]

As mentioned in the PR, this patch breaks e.g. ccache testsuite. I strongly doubt most of the users want such a behavior, because it makes all filenames absolute when -f*-prefix-map= options remap one absolute path to another one. Say if I'm in /tmp and /tmp is the canonical path and there is src/test.c file, with -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp=/blah previously there would be DW_AT_comp_dir "/blah" and it is still there, but DW_AT_name which was previouly "src/test.c" (relative against DW_AT_comp_dir) is now "/blah/src/test.c" instead. Even worse, the canonicalization is only done on the remap_filename argument, but not on the old_prefix side. That is e.g. what breaks ccache. If there is /tmp/foobar1 directory and ln -sf foobar1 /tmp/foobar2 cd /tmp/foobar2 then -fdebug-prefix-map=`pwd`:/blah will just not work, while src/test.c will be canonicalized to /tmp/foobar1/src/test.c, old_prefix is still what the user provided which is /tmp/foobar2. User would need to change their uses to use -fdebug-prefix-map=`realpath $(pwd)`=/blah I've created 3 patches for this. The first patch just reverts the patch (and its follow-up patch). The second introduces a new option, -f{,no}-canon-prefix-map which affects the behavior of -f{file,macro,debug,profile}-prefix-map=, if on it canonicalizes the old path of the prefix map option and compares that against the canonicalized filename for absolute paths but not relative. And last is like the second, but does that also for relative paths except for filenames with no / (or / or \ on DOS based fs). So, the third patch gets an optional behavior of what has been on the trunk lately with the difference that the old_prefix is canonicalized by the compiler. Initially I've thought I'd just add some magic syntax to the OLD=NEW argument of those options (because there are 4 of them), but as noted in the comments, = is valid char in OLD (just not new), so it would be hard to figure out some syntax. So instead a new option, which one can turn on and off for different -f*-prefix-map= options if needed. -fdebug-prefix-map=/path1=/mypath1 -fcanon-prefix-map \ -fdebug-prefix-map=/path2=/mypath2 -fno-canon-prefix-map \ -fdebug-prefix-map=/path3=/mypath3 will use the old behavior for the /path1 and /path3 handling and the new one only for /path2 handling.
