This patch relands https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71004 which was reverted because the clang change it depends on was reverted. In addition to the original patch, this PR includes a change to `SymbolFileDWARF::ParseVariableDIE` to support CU-level variable definitions that don't have locations, but represent a constant value. Previously, when debug-maps were available, we would assume that a variable with "static lifetime" (which in this case means "has a linkage name") has a valid address, which isn't the case for non-locationed constants. We could omit this additional change if we stopped attaching linkage names to global non-locationed constants. Original commit message: """ https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71780 proposes moving the `DW_AT_const_value` on inline static members from the declaration DIE to the definition DIE. This patch makes sure the LLDB's expression evaluator can continue to support static initialisers even if the declaration doesn't have a `DW_AT_const_value` anymore. Previously the expression evaluator would find the constant for a VarDecl from its declaration `DW_TAG_member` DIE. In cases where the initialiser was specified out-of-class, LLDB could find it during symbol resolution. However, neither of those will work for constants, since we don't have a constant attribute on the declaration anymore and we don't have constants in the symbol table.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
