CodeView, like most other debug formats, represents the live range of a
variable so that debuggers might print them out.
They use a variety of records to represent how a particular variable
might be available (in a register, in a frame pointer, etc.) along with
a set of ranges where this debug information is relevant.
However, the format only allows us to use ranges which are limited to a
maximum of 0xF000 in size. This means that we need to split our debug
information into chunks of 0xF000.
Because the layout of code is not known until *very* late, we must use a
new fragment to record the information we need until we can know
*exactly* what the range is.

Binary annotations are encoded along the lines of UTF-8 and ECI but with
a few minor differences.
The algorithm specified in "ECMA-335 CLI Section II.3.2 - Blobs and
Signatures" is used to compress binary annotations. Signed binary
annotations are encoded like unsigned annotations except the sign bit is
rotated left to reduce the number of bits needed to be encoded.
