This is how the default location entries in DWARF5 are supposed to work, although I am not sure if any compiler actually makes use of them.

This looks better to me as it saves one default entry and there is no difference in terms of using DWARFExpressionList APIs. 
Added `IsAlwaysValidSingleExpr` to check if it is an always-valid entry and uses it to distinguish between the two kinds.
