eceb5b9977 Add basic support for .debug_ranges section to LLVM's DebugInfo library.
This section (introduced in DWARF-3) is used to define instruction address
ranges for functions that are not contiguous and can't be described
by low_pc/high_pc attributes (this is the usual case for inlined subroutines).
The patch is the first step to support fetching complete inlining info from DWARF.

72c0d7fdd3 Sketch out a DWARF parser.
This introduces a new library to LLVM: libDebugInfo. It will provide debug information
parsing to LLVM. Much of the design and some of the code is taken from the LLDB project.

It also contains an llvm-dwarfdump tool that can dump the abbrevs and DIEs from an
object file. It can be used to write tests for DWARF input and output easily.
