0d9056d766 DebugInfo: Assert that DbgVariables have associated DIEs
This was previously committed in r209680 and reverted in r209683 after
it caused sanitizer builds to crash.

The issue seems to be that the DebugLoc associated with dbg.value IR
intrinsics isn't necessarily accurate. Instead, we duplicate the
DIVariables and add an InlinedAt field to them to record their
location.

We were using this InlinedAt field to compute the LexicalScope for the
variable, but not using it in the abstract DbgVariable construction and
mapping. This resulted in a formal parameter to the current concrete
function, correctly having no InlinedAt information, but incorrectly
having a DebugLoc that described an inlined location within the
function... thus an abstract DbgVariable was created for the variable,
but its DIE was never constructed (since the LexicalScope had no such
variable). This DbgVariable was silently ignored (by testing for a
non-null DIE on the abstract DbgVariable).

So, fix this by using the right scoping information when constructing
abstract DbgVariables.

In the long run, I suspect we want to undo the work that added this
second kind of location tracking and fix the places where the DebugLoc
propagation on the dbg.value intrinsic fails. This will shrink debug
info (by not duplicating DIVariables), make it more efficient (by not
having to construct new DIVariable metadata nodes to try to map back to
a single variable), and benefit all instructions.

But perhaps there are insurmountable issues with DebugLoc quality that
I'm unaware of... I just don't know how we can't /just keep the DebugLoc
from the dbg.declare to the dbg.values and never get this wrong/.
