[llvm-dev] Require support to use LLVM's PDB classes and pdbutil

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

I would say that llvm-pdbutil mainly exists to dump PDBs as human readable
text, and to translate them to and from YAML. As far as interpreting the
contents of the PDB to do something useful, like produce a stack trace,
goes, the consumer of LLVM's PDB reading libraries is responsible for doing
that. For example, LLDB at some point will likely implement stack unwinding
with unwind data from PDBs.

I don't think we have any existing documentation or references for coding
against the LLVM native PDB reading APIs, but you can look at the code in
LLDB to get an idea for how it can be done.
