Anmol P. Paralkar 5f4797bc2e MergeFunctions: Preserve debug info in thunks, under option -mergefunc-preserve-debug-info
Summary:
Under option -mergefunc-preserve-debug-info we:
- Do not create a new function for a thunk.
- Retain the debug info for a thunk's parameters (and associated
  instructions for the debug info) from the entry block.
  Note: -debug will display the algorithm at work.
- Create debug-info for the call (to the shared implementation) made by
  a thunk and its return value.
- Erase the rest of the function, retaining the (minimally sized) entry
  block to create a thunk.
- Preserve a thunk's call site to point to the thunk even when both occur
  within the same translation unit, to aid debugability. Note that this
  behaviour differs from the underlying -mergefunc implementation which
  modifies the thunk's call site to point to the shared implementation
  when both occur within the same translation unit.
