Debug info: Infrastructure to support debug locations for fragmented

variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
  that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
  such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
  will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
  to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.
