David Blaikie e2cf6dc5c9 DebugInfo: Elide lexical scopes which only contain other (inline or lexical) scopes.
DW_TAG_lexical_scopes inform debuggers about the instruction range for
which a given variable (or imported declaration/module/etc) is valid. If
the scope doesn't itself contain any such entities, it's a waste of
space and should be omitted.

We were correctly doing this for entirely empty leaves, but not for
intermediate nodes.

Reduces total (not just debug sections) .o file size for a bootstrap
-gmlt LLVM by 22% and bootstrap -gmlt clang executable by 13%. The wins
for a full -g build will be less as a % (and in absolute terms), but
should still be substantial - with some of that win being fewer
relocations, thus more substantiall reducing link times than fewer bytes
alone would have.
