cmd/compile: generate debug_lines in compiler

This is mostly a copy-paste jobs from the linker to generate the debug
information in the compiler instead of the linker. The new data is
inserted into the debug line numbers symbol defined in CL 188238.

Generating the debug information BEFORE deadcode results in one subtle
difference, and that is that the state machine needs to be reset at the
end of every function's debug line table. The reasoning is that
generating the table AFTER dead code allows the producer and consumer of
the table to agree on the state of the state machine, and since these
blocks will (eventually) be concatenated in the linker, we don't KNOW
the state of the state machine unless we reset it. So,
generateDebugLinesSymbol resets the state machine at the end of every
function.

Right now, we don't do anything with this line information, or the file
table -- we just populate the symbols.
