[DebugInfo][RemoveDIs] Eliminate another debug-info variation flag (#133917)

The "preserve input debug-info format" flag allowed some tooling to opt
into not seeing the new debug records yet, and to not autoupgrade. This
was good at the time, but un-necessary now that we'll be ditching
intrinsics shortly.

It also hides errors now: verify-uselistorder was hardcoding this flag
to on, and as a result it hasn't seen debug records before. Thus, we
missed a uselistorder variation: constant-expressions such as GEPs can
be contained within debug records and completely isolated from the value
hierachy, see the metadata-use-uselistorder.ll test. These Values didn't
get ordered, but were legitimate uses of constants like "i64 0", and we
now run into difficulty handling that. The patch to AsmWriter seeks
Values to order even through debug-info now.

Finally there are a few intrinsics-tests relying on this flag that we
can just delete, such as one in llvm-reduce and another few in the
LocalTest unit tests. For the fast-isel test, it was added in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D67703 explicitly for checking the size of
blocks without debug-info and in 1525abb9c94 the codepath it tests moved
towards being sunsetted. It'll be totally redundant once RemoveDIs is on
permanently.

Note that there's now no explicit test for the textual-IR autoupgrade
path. I submit that we can rely on the thousands of .ll files where
we've only been bothered to update the outputs, not the inputs, to debug
records.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
