[DWARF] Allow cross-CU references of subprogram definitions
This allows a call site tag in CU A to reference a callee DIE in CU B without resorting to creating an incomplete duplicate DIE for the callee inside of CU A. We already allow cross-CU references of subprogram declarations, so it doesn't seem like definitions ought to be special. This improves entry value evaluation and tail call frame synthesis in the LTO setting. During LTO, it's common for cross-module inlining to produce a call in some CU A where the callee resides in a different CU, and there is no declaration subprogram for the callee anywhere. In this case llvm would (unnecessarily, I think) emit an empty DW_TAG_subprogram in order to fill in the call site tag. That empty 'definition' defeats entry value evaluation etc., because the debugger can't figure out what it means. As a follow-up, maybe we could add a DWARF verifier check that a DW_TAG_subprogram at least has a DW_AT_name attribute. rdar://46577651 Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D70350
