[LLVMdev] [PATCH] Moving DebugInfo module to VMCore

Hi all,

This patch, though large, simply moves lib/Analysis/DebugInfo.cpp to lib/VMCore/DebugInfo.cpp and include/llvm/Analysis/DebugInfo.h to include/llvm/DebugInfo.h.

Why? Because this module has nothing to do with analysis. It simply defines an interface to the debug info MDNodes. In fact, the lib/VMCore/AsmWriter.cpp file performs a layering violation, because it calculates the DWARF tag from this debug info, which is more appropriately calculated via the debug info module. It could eventually allow us to use the debug info module's comment printer to generate fuller comments in the .ll file. 

Okay to commit?
