Dwarf 5 allows separating filenames from .debug_line into a separate .debug_line_str section. The strings are referenced relative to the start of the .debug_line_str section. Previously, on COFF, the relocation information instead caused offsets to be relocated to the base address of the COFF-File. This lead to wrong offsets in linked COFF files which caused the debugger to be unable to find the correct source files.

This patch fixes this problem by making the offsets relative to the start of the .debug_line_str section instead. There should be no changes for ELF-Files as everything seems to be working there.

I'm not sure if we should add a test case for this and I don't know how you'd write one - the problem only occurs in linked .dll-files containing dwarf 5 debugging information. The wrong offsets in the files causes missing file names of the source files there. I tested this change manually and it seems to work for dlls and not break elf files, though someone with more experience in llvm should probably check if this the right way of achieving this.
