  Log Message:
  -----------
  Reland "[dwarf] Emit a DIGlobalVariable for constant strings."

An upcoming patch will extend llvm-symbolizer to provide the source line
information for global variables. The goal is to move AddressSanitizer
off of internal debug info for symbolization onto the DWARF standard
(and doing a clean-up in the process). Currently, ASan reports the line
information for constant strings if a memory safety bug happens around
them. We want to keep this behaviour, so we need to emit debuginfo for
these variables as well.
