af9e55068c debuginfo: add compiler option to allow compressed debuginfo sections
LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full
builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it
typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new
knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM
functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled
compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit
uncompressed debuginfo sections.

The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.
