Add a -gmodules option to the driver and a -dwarf-ext-refs to cc1
to enable the use of external type references in the debug info (a.k.a. module debugging). The driver expands -gmodules to "-g -fmodule-format=obj -dwarf-ext-refs" and passes that to cc1. All this does at the moment is set a flag codegenopts. http://reviews.llvm.org/D11958 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@246192 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+ Generate debug information that contains external references to
