Stub out a new LiveDebugVariables pass.

This analysis is going to run immediately after LiveIntervals. It will stay
alive during register allocation and keep track of user variables mentioned in
DBG_VALUE instructions.

When the register allocator is moving values between registers and the stack, it
is very hard to keep track of DBG_VALUE instructions. We usually get it wrong.
This analysis maintains a data structure that makes it easy to update DBG_VALUE
instructions.

+// allocation.
+//
+// After register allocation new DBG_VALUE instructions are emitted to reflect
+// the new locations of user variables.
