[PATCH] D16571: Compute the DISubprogram hash key partially (NFC)

[Mehdi Amini via llvm-commits]

The hash should (almost?) never change.
I thought about this solution, and I plan on evaluating it a well (it applies to constants as well). 
However there is a tradeoff of memory vs speed doing this.
For instance when doing LTO, we load a lot of metadata when loading and linking individual Modules, which put a lot of stress on the hash tables (both uniquing and grow). But then during optimization and CodeGen it shouldn’t and I’m not sure we want to pay the price of the memory overhead then.

Note also that a ThinLTO link of `opt` right now involves loading ~30000 bitcode files, so it is roughly 30s CPU time overall for the link time for each millisecond saved for each file loaded :)

Let me know if you have any other suggestion!
