Let replaceVTableHolder accept any type.
In Rust, a trait can be implemented for any type, and if a trait
object pointer is used for the type, then a virtual table will be
emitted for that trait/type combination.
We would like debuggers to be able to inspect trait objects, which
requires finding the concrete type associated with a given vtable.
This patch changes LLVM so that any type can be passed to
replaceVTableHolder. This allows the Rust compiler to emit the needed
debug info -- associating a vtable with the concrete type for which it
was emitted.
This is a DWARF extension: DWARF only specifies the meaning of
DW_AT_containing_type in one specific situation. This style of DWARF
extension is routine, though, and LLVM already has one such case for
DW_AT_containing_type.
