Add a -gmodules option to the driver and a -dwarf-ext-refs to cc1
to enable the use of external type references in the debug info (a.k.a. module debugging). The driver expands -gmodules to "-g -fmodule-format=obj -dwarf-ext-refs" and passes that to cc1. All this does at the moment is set a flag codegenopts. http://reviews.llvm.org/D11958 llvm-svn: 246192

Generate debug information. Note that Clang debug information works best at -O0.

+ Generate debug information that contains external references to
+ types defined in clang modules or precompiled headers instead of
+ emitting redundant debug type information into every object file.
+ This option implies `-fmodule-format=obj`.

Clang supports a number of optimizations to reduce the size of debug
