Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [CLANG][DWARF] Do not emit -ggnu-pubnames for split dwarf
 version 5.

When -gsplit-dwarf is passed in clang emmmits -ggnu-pubnames which results in
.debug_gnu_pubnames/..debug_gnu_pubtypes being generated. For DWARF5 we have
functional .debug_names.

TBH not sure what the right behavior should be. Should we not generate anything
at all by default or generate .debug_names? Doing some archeological digging
initially -gnu-pubnames was always generated to be in line with what gcc does.. It was then
changed so that it was generated when split-dwarf was enabled:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/658645241bf0c624d4b7a67c195c239bbc193e3f#diff-bac41c71569f27df21a843bcd74d2e604ed508afbdf141777761dfb545c5d228

For LLDB these gnu sections are not useful and just waste space. Maybe a better
check is to be based on tunning?
