Reland: [DWARF] Allow cross-CU references of subprogram definitions

This allows a call site tag in CU A to reference a callee DIE in CU B
without resorting to creating an incomplete duplicate DIE for the callee
inside of CU A.

We already allow cross-CU references of subprogram declarations, so it
doesn't seem like definitions ought to be special.

This improves entry value evaluation and tail call frame synthesis in
the LTO setting. During LTO, it's common for cross-module inlining to
produce a call in some CU A where the callee resides in a different CU,
and there is no declaration subprogram for the callee anywhere. In this
case llvm would (unnecessarily, I think) emit an empty DW_TAG_subprogram
in order to fill in the call site tag. That empty 'definition' defeats
entry value evaluation etc., because the debugger can't figure out what
it means.

As a follow-up, maybe we could add a DWARF verifier check that a
DW_TAG_subprogram at least has a DW_AT_name attribute.

Update:

Reland with a fix to create a declaration DIE when the declaration is
missing from the CU's retainedTypes list. The declaration is left out
of the retainedTypes list in two cases:

1) Re-compiling pre-r266445 bitcode (in which declarations weren't added
   to the retainedTypes list), and
2) Doing LTO function importing (which doesn't update the retainedTypes
   list).

It's possible to handle (1) and (2) by modifying the retainedTypes list
(in AutoUpgrade, or in the LTO importing logic resp.), but I don't see
an advantage to doing it this way, as it would cause more DWARF to be
emitted compared to creating the declaration DIEs lazily.

Tested with a stage2 ThinLTO+RelWithDebInfo build of clang, and with a
ReleaseLTO-g build of the test suite.
