[PATCH v3 1/3] Introduce a new line table flag is_weak

[Bernd Edlinger]

This introduces a new line table flag is_weak.
The line entries at the end of a subroutine range,
use this to indicate that they may possibly
be part of the previous subroutine.

When there is a sequence of line entries at the
same address where an inline range ends, and the
last item has is_stmt = 0, we force all previous
items to have is_weak = 1.

Additionally this adds a "fake" end sequence to the
record_line function, that is line number -1.
That will be used in the next patch.

Finally this adds a handling for empty ranges to
record_block_range.  Currently this function is
not called with empty ranges, but that will be used
in the next patch.

There should be no functional changes after this commit.

	range end PC values.  Make empty inline ranges one byte long.
	(buildsym_compunit::record_line): Update the comment about the
	end of sequence marker.  Mark previous lines at the same PC
	as weak for a fake end sequence marker.
