This patch tries to reduce the size of the debug_rnglist section by replacing the DW_RLE_start_length opcodes currently emitted by dsymutil in favor of using DW_RLE_base_addressx + DW_RLE_offset_pair instead.

The DW_RLE_start_length is one AddressSize followed by a ULEB per entry, whereas, the DW_RLE_base_addressx + DW_RLE_offset_pair will use one ULEB for the base address, and then the DW_RLE_offset_pair is a pair of ULEBs. This will be more efficient.

The size of the debug_rnglist section + debug_addr section in the clang.dSYM went from 12.22 MB to 12.08 MB in size
