[DWARF] Support new TAG DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation

A new LLVM specific TAG DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation is added.
The name is suggested by Paul Robinson ([1]).
Currently, this tag is used to output __attribute__((btf_tag("string")))
annotations in dwarf. The following is an example for a global
variable with two btf_tag attributes:
  0x0000002a:   DW_TAG_variable
                  DW_AT_name      ("g1")
                  DW_AT_type      (0x00000052 "int")
                  DW_AT_external  (true)
                  DW_AT_decl_file ("/tmp/home/yhs/work/tests/llvm/btf_tag/t.c")
                  DW_AT_decl_line (8)
                  DW_AT_location  (DW_OP_addr 0x0)

  0x0000003f:     DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation
                    DW_AT_name    ("btf_tag")
                    DW_AT_const_value     ("tag1")

  0x00000048:     DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation
                    DW_AT_name    ("btf_tag")
                    DW_AT_const_value     ("tag2")

  0x00000051:     NULL

In the future, DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation may encode other type
of non-string const value.
