Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

Turns out that DW_AT_ranges_base attribute sets the offset for
DW_AT_ranges values specified in the .dwo file, but not for DW_AT_ranges specified
in the skeleton compile unit DIE in the main executable. This is extremely confusing,
and would hopefully be fixed in DWARF-5 when it's finalized. For now this
behavior makes sense, as otherwise Fission would break DWARF consumers who
doesn't know anything about DW_AT_ranges_base.

DIE doesn't need to store a pointer to its parent: we can traverse the DIE tree
only with functions getFirstChild() and getSibling(). Parents must be known
only when we construct the tree. Rewrite setDIERelations() procedure in a more
straightforward way, and get rid of lots of now unused DIEMinimal methods.
No functionality change.

When address ranges for compile unit are specified in compile unit DIE
itself, there is no need to collect ranges from children subprogram DIEs.
This change speeds up llvm-symbolizer on Clang-produced binaries with
full debug info. For instance, symbolizing a first address in a 1Gb binary
is now 2x faster (1s vs. 2s).

Add a helper method to get address ranges specified in a DIE
(either by DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc, or by DW_AT_ranges). Use it
to untangle and simplify the code.
No functionality change.

Summary:
Use DWARF4 table of form classes to fetch attributes from DIE
in a more consistent way. This shouldn't change the functionality and
serves as a refactoring for upcoming change: DW_AT_high_pc has different
semantics depending on its form class.
