The string pool is shared among several units in the case of LTO,
and it potentially can exceed the limit of 4GiB for an extremely
large application. As it is now possible to emit 64-bit debugging
info, the limitation can be removed.

to reflect the new license.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
The accelerator tables use the debug_str section to store their strings.
However, they do not support the indirect method of access that is
available for the debug_info section (DW_FORM_strx et al.).

Currently our code is assuming that all strings can/will be referenced
indirectly, and puts all of them into the debug_str_offsets section.
This is generally true for regular (unsplit) dwarf, but in the DWO case,
most of the strings in the debug_str section will only be used from the
accelerator tables. Therefore the contents of the debug_str_offsets
section will be largely unused and bloating the main executable.

This patch rectifies this by teaching the DwarfStringPool to
differentiate between strings accessed directly and indirectly. When a
user inserts a string into the pool it has to declare whether that
string will be referenced directly or not. If at least one user requsts
indirect access, that string will be assigned an index ID and put into
debug_str_offsets table. Otherwise, the offset table is skipped.

This approach reduces the overall binary size (when compiled with
-gdwarf-5 -gsplit-dwarf) in my tests by about 2% (debug_str_offsets is
shrunk by 99%).

Previous version of this patch failed on darwin targets because of
different handling of cross-debug-section relocations. This fixes the
tests to emit the DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute correctly in both
cases. Since doing this is a non-trivial amount of code, and I'm going
to need it in more than one test, I've added a helper function to the
dwarfgen DIE class to do it.

Original commit message follows:

The motivation for this is D49493, where we'd like to test details of
debug_str_offsets behavior which is difficult to trigger from a
traditional test.

This adds the plubming necessary for dwarfgen to generate this section.
The more interesting changes are:
- I've moved emitStringOffsetsTableHeader function from DwarfFile to
  DwarfStringPool, so I can generate the section header more easily from
  the unit test.
- added a new addAttribute overload taking an MCExpr*. This is used to
  generate the DW_AT_str_offsets_base, which links a compile unit to the
  offset table.

I've also added a basic test for reading and writing DW_form_strx forms.

This reverts commit r337933. The build error is fixed but the test now
fails on the darwin buildbots. Investigating...

This recommits r337910 after fixing an "ambiguous call to addAttribute"
error with some compilers (gcc circa 4.9 and MSVC). It seems that these
compilers will consider a "false -> pointer" conversion during overload
resolution. This creates ambiguity because one I added an overload which
takes a MCExpr * as an argument.

I fix this by making the new overload take MCExpr&, which avoids the
conversion. It also documents the fact that we expect a valid MCExpr
object.

This reverts commit r337910 as it's generating "ambiguous call to

Will resubmit once I get a chance to look into the problem.

Summary: This is the producer side for DWARF v5 string offsets tables. The reader/consumer
side was committed with r321295. All compile and type units in a module share a 
contribution to the string offsets table. Indirect strings use the strx{1,2,3,4} index forms.
