The raw CodeView format references strings by "offsets", but it's
confusing what table the offset refers to. In the case of line
number information, it's an offset into a buffer of records,
and an indirection is required to get another offset into a
different table to find the final string. And in the case of
checksum information, there is no indirection, and the offset
refers directly to the location of the string in another buffer.
This would be less confusing if we always just referred to the
strings by their value, and have the library be smart enough
to correctly resolve the offsets on its own from the right
location.
This patch makes that possible. When either reading or writing,
all the user deals with are strings, and the library does the
appropriate translations behind the scenes.

llvm-readobj hand rolls some CodeView parsing code for string
tables, so this patch updates it to re-use some of the newly
introduced parsing code in LLVMDebugInfoCodeView.

This was reverted due to a "missing" file, but in reality
what happened was that I renamed a file, and then due to
a merge conflict both the old file and the new file got
added to the repository. This led to an unused cpp file
being in the repo and not referenced by any CMakeLists.txt
but #including a .h file that wasn't in the repo. In an
even more unfortunate coincidence, CMake didn't report the
unused cpp file because it was in a subdirectory of the
folder with the CMakeLists.txt, and not in the same directory
as any CMakeLists.txt.
The presence of the unused file was then breaking certain
tools that determine file lists by globbing rather than
by what's specified in CMakeLists.txt
In any case, the fix is to just remove the unused file from
the patch set.

The patch is failing to add StringTableStreamBuilder.h, but that isn't
even discovered because the corresponding StringTableStreamBuilder.cpp
isn't added to any CMakeLists.txt file and thus never built. I think
this patch is just incomplete.

Previously we had knowledge of how to serialize and deserialize
a string table inside of DebugInfo/PDB, but the string table
that it serializes contains a piece that is actually considered
CodeView and can appear outside of a PDB. We already have logic
in llvm-readobj and MCCodeView to read and write this format,
so it doesn't make sense to duplicate the logic in DebugInfoPDB
as well.
This patch makes codeview::StringTable (for writing) and
codeview::StringTableRef (for reading), updates DebugInfoPDB
to use these classes for its own writing, and updates llvm-readobj
to additionally use StringTableRef for reading.
It's a bit more difficult to get MCCodeView to use this for
writing, but it's a logical next step.
