This patch introduces a new option `-preserve-merged-debug-info` to
preserve an arbitrary but deterministic version of debug information
when DILocations are merged. This is intended to be used in production
environments from which sample based profiles are derived such as
AutoFDO and MemProf.
With this patch we have see a 0.2% improvement on an internal workload
at Google when generating AutoFDO profiles. It also significantly
improves the ability for MemProf by preserving debug info for merged
call instructions used in the contextual profile.
