The debugger and other tools consuming DWARF info are not expecting to  
see "".

If StringRef are used then
1) The DwarfWriter needs to check for ""
2) The clients needs to check for optional arguments.

If const char * are used then only clients needs to get pointer to the  
string.

My preferred approach was to let StringRef handle null for optional  
arguments, but it has performance implications.

I am not tied to one position, but prefer a approach that makes either  
DwarfWriter OR clients responsible to do the right thing.
