William Junda Huang aeccfee348 Add option to generate additional debug info for expression dereferencing pointer to pointers. (#81545) ...

Such expression does not correspond to a variable in the source code
thus does not have a debug location. When the user collects perf data on
the program, if the intermediate memory load instruction is sampled, it
could not be attributed to any variable/class member, which causes the
sampling results to be under-counted.
This patch adds an option `-fdebug_info_for_pointer_type` to generate a
psuedo variable and its debug info for intermediate expression with
pointer dereferencing, so that perf data collected on the instruction of
that expression can be attributed to the correct class member.

This is a prototype so comments are needed.
