Currently, an AsmPrinterHandler has several methods that allow to
dynamically hook in unwind or debug info emission, e.g. at begin/end of
every function or instruction. The class hierarchy and the actually
overridden functions are as follows:
(SymSz=setSymbolSize, mFE=markFunctionEnd, BBS=BasicBlockSection,
FL=Funclet; b=beginX, e=endX)

Doing virtual function calls per instruction is costly and useless when
the called function does nothing.
This commit performs the following clean-up/improvements:
- PseudoProbeHandler is no longer an AsmPrinterHandler -- it used
nothing of its functionality to hook in at the possible points. This
avoids virtual function calls when a pseudo probe printer is present.
- DebugHandlerBase is no longer an AsmPrinterHandler, but a separate
base class. DebugHandlerBase is the only remaining "hook" for begin/end
instruction and setSymbolSize (only used by DWARFDebug). begin/end for
function and basic block sections are never overriden and therefore are
no longer virtual. (Originally I intended there to be only one debug
handler, but BPF as the only target supports two at the same time: DWARF
and BTF.)
- AsmPrinterHandler no longer has begin/end instruction and
setSymbolSize hooks -- these were only used by DebugHandlerBase. This
avoid iterating over handlers in every instruction.

PseudoProbeHandler (no shared methods)
To continue allowing external users (e.g., Julia) to hook in at every
instruction, a new method addDebugHandler is exposed.
This results in a performance improvement, especially in the -O0 -g0
case with unwind information (e.g., JIT baseline).
