This adds just enough debug info for i32/int parameters and return
values, with a path forward for adding DWARF type metadata for other
types.
As it happens, return type information is carried separately from
parameter information:
* Return type information is carried in the `type` of the `DISubprogram`
(as a `DISubroutineType` - which does carry parameter type information
as well, but that's unused when the DWARF is emitted by LLVM)
* Parameter information is carried by `DILocalVariable`s with a non-zero
`arg` value (representing the order of function parameters)
In the absence of locations for the parameters (future work), nothing
would usually keep the `DILocalVariable` live/reachable when emitting
DWARF - so for cases where this can happen (for clang, this happens in
optimized builds where all references to the parameter variable might be
optimized away) the variables can be "retained" in a list on the
`DISubprogram` - achieved by passing `AlwaysPreserve` parameter to
`createParameterVariable` (adds them to a list, then that list gets
attached to the `DISubprogram` when it's finalized later)
For now, any unsupported types are emitted as `void*` (except void
return, which is implemented as void) as a placeholder.
Given this example:
```
import Core library "io";
class MyClass {
}
fn Unsupported(v: MyClass) {
}
fn Ret() -> i32 {
return 42;
}
fn Arg(x: i32) {
Core.Print(x);
}
fn Run() {
}
```
this is the resulting DWARF:
```
DW_TAG_compile_unit
DW_AT_name ("test.carbon")
DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name ("Unsupported")
DW_TAG_formal_parameter
DW_AT_type (0x00000066 "void *")
DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name ("Ret")
DW_AT_type (0x00000062 "int")
DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name ("Arg")
DW_TAG_formal_parameter
DW_AT_type (0x00000062 "int")
DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name ("Run")
DW_TAG_base_type
DW_AT_name ("int")
DW_TAG_pointer_type
```
And the debugger:
```
(gdb) p Ret()
$1 = 42
(gdb) p Arg(4)
4
$2 = void
```
I'm not sure if there's a way this logic should be merged with the logic
for making the `llvm::Function` type (which the `DISubroutineType`
building code was inspired by/copied from) - since they're done at
different times/places, I don't think there's an easy way to do it in
one pass, but maybe the code can be shared (even if it's run twice) in
some generic `SemIR::Function` type walker.

This helps at least lldb handle calling functions (currently the debug
info describes every function as `void()`, so no parameters or return
values are supported) - seems gdb and lldb both depend on demangling to
varying degrees in C code (marking a function as "prototyped" in C in
DWARF does seem to also address this problem).
Given:
```
fn PrintThree() {
Core.Print(3);
}
```
Before:
```
(lldb) p PrintThree()
error: Couldn't look up symbols:
PrintThree
Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in
the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler.
```
After:
```
(lldb) p PrintThree()
3
(lldb)
```
If the value representation of `T` is a copy representation, but it
copies all of the bits of `T`'s object representation, then it's OK to
use that as the value representation of `MaybeUnformed(T)` too.
This fixes the behavior of interop with nullable pointers, which are
represented as an adapter of `MaybeUnformed(T*)`, and need to be passed
to and returned from functions on the Carbon / C++ boundary as `T*`s.
