(-debug-info-kind=constructor) by default when debug info is enabled
Constructor homing reduces the amount of class type info that is emitted
by emitting conmplete type info for a class only when a constructor for
that class is emitted.
This will mainly reduce the amount of duplicate debug info in object
files. In Chrome enabling ctor homing decreased total build directory sizes
by about 30%.
It's also expected that some class types (such as unused classes)
will no longer be emitted in the debug info. This is fine, since we wouldn't
expect to need these types when debugging.
In some cases (e.g. libc++, https://reviews.llvm.org/D98750), classes
are used without calling the constructor. Since this is technically
undefined behavior, enabling constructor homing should be fine.
However Clang now has an attribute
`__attribute__((standalone_debug))` that can be used on classes to
ignore ctor homing.

Summary:
-debug-info-kind=constructor reduces the amount of class debug info that
is emitted; this patch switches to using this as the default.
Constructor homing emits the complete type info for a class only when the
constructor is emitted, so it is expected that there will be some classes that
are not defined in the debug info anymore because they are never constructed,
and we shouldn't need debug info for these classes.
I compared the PDB files for clang, and there are 273 class types that are defined with `=limited`
but not with `=constructor` (out of ~60,000 total class types).
We've looked at a number of the types that are no longer defined with =constructor. The vast
majority of cases are something like class A is used as a parameter in a member function of
some other class B, which is emitted. But the function that uses class A is never called, and class A
is never constructed, and therefore isn't emitted in the debug info.

The original patch got reverted because it broke `check-lldb` on a clean
build. This fixes that.

as it appears to have broken check-lldb.

LLDB has three major testing strategies: unit tests, tests that exercise
the SB API though dotest.py and what we currently call lit tests. The
later is rather confusing as we're now using lit as the driver for all
three types of tests. As most of this grew organically, the directory
structure in the LLDB repository doesn't really make this clear.
The 'lit' tests are part of the root and among these tests there's a
Unit and Suite folder for the unit and dotest-tests. This layout makes
it impossible to run just the lit tests.
This patch changes the directory layout to match the 3 testing
strategies, each with their own directory and their own configuration
file. This means there are now 3 directories under lit with 3
corresponding targets:
- API (check-lldb-api): Test exercising the SB API.
- Shell (check-lldb-shell): Test exercising command line utilities.
- Unit (check-lldb-unit): Unit tests.
Finally, there's still the `check-lldb` target that runs all three test
suites.
Finally, this also renames the lit folder to `test` to match the LLVM
repository layout.
