This is the culmination of a series of changes described in [1]. Although somewhat large by line count, it is almost entirely mechanical, creating a new library in DebugInfo/DWARF/LowLevel. This new library has very minimal dependencies, allowing it to be used from more places than the normal DebugInfo/DWARF library, which depends on Object files, target readers, and additional infrastructure. I am happy to put it in another location, or to structure it differently if that makes sense. Some have suggested in BinaryFormat, but that library is exclusively standardized defines and bit. But if that makes more sense to the reviewers, I can do that. 1. https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-debuginfo-dwarf-refactor-into-to-lower-and-higher-level-libraries/86665/2

This is the culmination of a series of changes described in [1].
Although somewhat large by line count, it is almost entirely mechanical, creating a new library in DebugInfo/DWARF/LowLevel. This new library has very minimal dependencies, allowing it to be used from more places than the normal DebugInfo/DWARF library--in particular from MC.
I am happy to put it in another location, or to structure it differently if that makes sense. Some have suggested in BinaryFormat, but it is not a great fit there. But if that makes more sense to the reviewers, I can do that.
Another possibility would be to use pass-through headers to allow clients who don't care to depend only on DebugInfo/DWARF. This would be a much less invasive change, and perhaps easier for clients. But also a system that hides details.
Either way, I'm open.
