Add support for DW_TAG_thrown_type.

For Swift we would like to be able to encode the error types that a
function may throw, so the debugger can display them alongside the
function's return value when finish-ing a function.

DWARF defines DW_TAG_thrown_type (intended to be used for C++ throw()
declarations) that is a perfect fit for this purpose. This patch wires
up support for DW_TAG_thrown_type in LLVM by adding a list of thrown
types to DISubprogram.

To offset the cost of the extra pointer, there is a follow-up patch
that turns DISubprogram into a variable-length node.
