            Bug ID: 22235
           Summary: Debug info IR: DebugMDNode
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: Core LLVM classes

Introduce a new IR node specialized for DWARF tags with similar assembly syntax
to MDLocation (bug 21433).

The construct needs to be generic enough to handle any DW_TAG we currently
stuff into MDNode, and is meant to serve as a base class for specific DW_TAG
classes going forward.

My naming plan is to call the base class (which inherits from
`UniquableMDNode`) `DebugMDNode`, and the leaf class `GenericDebugMDNode`.

This is step 4 of the original plan from the RFC [1]: pull the DW_TAG out of
the header field to put in the `tag` field, and leave it otherwise similar to
an MDNode.

!7 = !GenericDebugMDNode(tag: DW_TAG_compile_unit, fields: "0\00clang
3.6\00...", operands: { !8, !9, ... })
