I fill make the description a bit more formal.

I agree that naming all the unittests a bit more similarly is good addition to this.

One piece of doubt that I have since I opened this PR: the term CFI is overloaded, it can mean *Call Frame Information* and *Control Flow Integrity*. This is even more problematic than normal in this case, where we talk about the Call Frame Information related to a Control Flow Integrity mechanism, namely Pointer Authentication.

Another way to name these would be PointerAuthDwarf* (or capital DWARF*), to signal that these passes take care of the *DWARF CFIs* in the binary. 

Thoughts?
