DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format.

DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size when mixed with compression
(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED).

Link: http://www.dwarfstd.org/doc/DWARF5.pdf

Patch 1 is a cleanup from Masahiro and isn't DWARF v5 specific.
Patch 2 is a cleanup that lays the ground work and isn't DWARF
v5 specific.
Patch 3 implements Kconfig and Kbuild support for DWARFv5.

Changes from v3:

Changes as per Arvind:
* only add -Wa,-gdwarf-5 for (LLVM=1|CC=clang)+LLVM_IAS=0 builds.
* add -gdwarf-5 to Kconfig shell script.
* only run Kconfig shell script for Clang.

Apologies to Sedat and Nathan; I appreciate previous testing/review, but
I did no carry forward your Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags, as the
patches have changed too much IMO.

Changes from v2:
* Drop two of the earlier patches that have been accepted already.
* Add measurements with GCC 10.2 to commit message.
* Update help text as per Arvind with help from Caroline.
* Improve case/wording between DWARF Versions as per Masahiro.

Changes from the RFC:
* split patch in 3 patch series, include Fangrui's patch, too.
* prefer `DWARF vX` format, as per Fangrui.
* use spaces between assignment in Makefile as per Masahiro.
* simplify setting dwarf-version-y as per Masahiro.
* indent `prompt` in Kconfig change as per Masahiro.
* remove explicit default in Kconfig as per Masahiro.
* add comments to test_dwarf5_support.sh.
* change echo in test_dwarf5_support.sh as per Masahiro.
* remove -u from test_dwarf5_support.sh as per Masahiro.
* add a -gdwarf-5 cc-option check to Kconfig as per Jakub.
