Fix a major source of compile-time slowness at -O0 -g by optimizing

the storage of !dbg metadata kinds in the instruction themselves.
The on-the-side hash table works great for metadata that not-all
instructions get, or for metadata that only exists when optimizing.
But when compile-time is everything, it isn't great.

I'm not super thrilled with the fact that this plops a TrackingVH in
Instruction, because it grows it by 3 words.  I'm investigating 
alternatives, but this should be a step in the right direction in any
case.
