This patch is an implementation of [this
discussion](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-lldb-handling-abi-tagged-constructors-destructors-in-expression-evaluator/82816/7)
about handling ABI-tagged structors during expression evaluation.

**Motivation**

LLDB encodes the mangled name of a `DW_TAG_subprogram` into `AsmLabel`s
on function and method Clang AST nodes. This means that when calls to
these functions get lowered into IR (when running JITted expressions),
the address resolver can locate the appropriate symbol by mangled name
(and it is guaranteed to find the symbol because we got the mangled name
from debug-info, instead of letting Clang mangle it based on AST
structure). However, we don't do this for
`CXXConstructorDecl`s/`CXXDestructorDecl`s because these structor
declarations in DWARF don't have a linkage name. This is because there
can be multiple variants of a structor, each with a distinct mangling in
the Itanium ABI. Each structor variant has its own definition
`DW_TAG_subprogram`. So LLDB doesn't know which mangled name to put into
the `AsmLabel`.

Currently this means using ABI-tagged structors in LLDB expressions
won't work (see [this
RFC](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-lldb-handling-abi-tagged-constructors-destructors-in-expression-evaluator/82816)
for concrete examples).

**Proposed Solution**

The `FunctionCallLabel` encoding that we put into `AsmLabel`s already
supports stuffing more info about a DIE into it. So this patch extends
the `FunctionCallLabel` to contain an optional discriminator (a sequence
of bytes) which the `SymbolFileDWARF` plugin interprets as the
constructor/destructor variant of that DIE. So when searching for the
definition DIE, LLDB will include the structor variant in its heuristic
for determining a match.

There's a few subtleties here:
1. At the point at which LLDB first constructs the label, it has no way
of knowing (just by looking at the debug-info declaration), which
structor variant the expression evaluator is supposed to call. That's
something that gets decided when compiling the expression. So we let the
Clang mangler inject the correct structor variant into the `AsmLabel`
during JITing. I adjusted the `AsmLabelAttr` mangling for this in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/155485. An option would've
been to create a new Clang attribute which behaved like an `AsmLabel`
but with these special semantics for LLDB. My main concern there is that
we'd have to adjust all the `AsmLabelAttr` checks around Clang to also
now account for this new attribute.
2. The compiler is free to omit the `C1` variant of a constructor if the
`C2` variant is sufficient. In that case it may alias `C1` to `C2`,
leaving us with only the `C2` `DW_TAG_subprogram` in the object file.
Linux is one of the platforms where this occurs. For those cases I added
a heuristic in `SymbolFileDWARF` where we pick `C2` if we asked for `C1`
but it doesn't exist. This may not always be correct (e.g., if the
compiler decided to drop `C1` for other reasons).
3. In https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/154142 Clang will emit
`C4`/`D4` variants of ctors/dtors on declarations. When resolving the
`FunctionCallLabel` we will now substitute the actual variant that Clang
told us we need to call into the mangled name. We do this using LLDB's
`ManglingSubstitutor`. That way we find the definition DIE exactly the
same way we do for regular function calls.
4. In cases where declarations and definitions live in separate modules,
the DIE ID encoded in the function call label may not be enough to find
the definition DIE in the encoded module ID. For those cases we fall
back to how LLDB used to work: look up in all images of the target. To
make sure we don't use the unified mangled name for the fallback lookup,
we change the lookup name to whatever mangled name the FunctionCallLabel
resolved to.
