[DebugInfo] Set all dbg.value intrinsics to be tail-calls (#73661)
This change has no meaningful effect on the compiler, although it has a functional effect of dbg.value intrinsics being printed differently. The tail-call flag is meaningless for debug-intrinsics and doesn't serve a purpose, it's just extra baggage that dbg.values are built on top of. Some facilities create debug-intrinsics with the flag, others don't. However, the RemoveDIs project to represent debug-info without intrinsics doesn't have a corresponding flag, which can cause spurious test differences. Specifically: we can convert a dbg.value to a DPValue, run an optimisation pass, then convert the DPValue back to dbg.value form. Right now, we always set the "tail" flag when converting it back. This causes the auto-update-tests script to fail sometimes because in one mode (dbg.value) intrinsics might not have a tail flag, but in the other they do have a tail flag. Consistently picking one or the other in the conversion routine doesn't help, because the rest of LLVM is inconsistent about it anyway. Thus: whenever we make a dbg.value intrinsic, create it as a tail call, so that we get consistent output behaviours no matter which debug-info mode we're in, DPValue or dbg.value. No tests fail as a result of this patch because the extra 'tail' generated in numerous tests is automatically ignored by FileCheck as being leading-rubbish before the CHECK match.
