This pull request improves LVDWARFReader to deal with a couple of unhandled cases. Specifically,

  • Add support for DW_TAG_module DIEs and recurse over their children. Prior to this patchset, entities hanging below DW_TAG_module were just not visible. This DIE kind is commonly generated by Objective-C modules.
    This patch suggests to add LVScopeModule to represent such entities, which will print as
[0x000000000b][001]              {CompileUnit} '/llvm/tools/clang/test/modules/<stdin>'
[0x000000000b][002]                {Producer} 'LLVM version 3.7.0'
                                   {Directory} '/llvm/tools/clang/test/modules'
                                   {File} '<stdin>'
[0x0000000023][002]                {Module} 'debugmodule'

The minimal test case included is just the result of

$ llc llvm/test/DebugInfo/X86/DIModule.ll -accel-tables=Dwarf -o llvm/unittests/DebugInfo/LogicalView/Inputs/test-dwarf-clang-module.o -filetype=obj
  • Introduce handling of DW_AT_byte_size. Most DWARF emitters include this attribute for types to specify the size of an entity of the given type.

I wonder if a better name would not be
Support DW_AT_byte_size and DW_TAG_module
instead of Improve DWARF parsing capabilities

`clang-repl --cuda` was previously crashing with a segmentation fault,

```

The underlying issue was that the `DeviceCompilerInstance` (used for
device-side CUDA compilation) was never initialized with a `Sema`, which
is required before constructing the `IncrementalCUDADeviceParser`.

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/89687e6f383b742a3c6542dc673a84d9f82d02de/clang/lib/Interpreter/DeviceOffload.cpp#L32

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/89687e6f383b742a3c6542dc673a84d9f82d02de/clang/lib/Interpreter/IncrementalParser.cpp#L31

Unlike the host-side `CompilerInstance` which runs `ExecuteAction`
inside the Interpreter constructor (thereby setting up Sema), the
device-side CI was passed into the parser uninitialized, leading to an
assertion or crash when accessing its internals.

To fix this, I refactored the `Interpreter::create` method to include an
optional `DeviceCI` parameter. If provided, we know we need to take care
of this instance too. Only then do we construct the
`IncrementalCUDADeviceParser`.

Problem :

1) The destructor currently handles no clearance for the DeviceParser
and the DeviceAct. We currently only have this

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/976493822443c52a71ed3c67aaca9a555b20c55d/clang/lib/Interpreter/Interpreter.cpp#L416-L419

2) The ownership for DeviceCI currently is present in
IncrementalCudaDeviceParser. But this should be similar to how the
combination for hostCI, hostAction and hostParser are managed by the
Interpreter. As on master the DeviceAct and DeviceParser are managed by
the Interpreter but not DeviceCI. This is problematic because :
IncrementalParser holds a Sema& which points into the DeviceCI. On
master, DeviceCI is destroyed before the base class ~IncrementalParser()
runs, causing Parser::reset() to access a dangling Sema (and as Sema
holds a reference to Preprocessor which owns PragmaNamespace) we see
this
