Use the DWARF linkage name when importing C++ methods.

When importing C++ methods into clang AST nodes from the DWARF symbol
table, preserve the DW_AT_linkage_name and use it as the linker
("asm") name for the symbol.

Concretely, this enables `expression` to call into names that use the
GNU `abi_tag` extension, and enables lldb to call into code using
std::string or std::list from recent versions of libstdc++. See
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35310 . It also seems broadly
more robust than relying on the DWARF->clang->codegen pipeline to
roundtrip properly, but I'm not immediately aware of any other cases
in which it makes a difference.
