move UseDwarfRangesBaseAddressSpecifier to front end flag

[mlekena]

Summary

Move UseDwarfRangesBaseAddressSpecifier handling to the MC options command line argument.
This is a change to make the flag more accessible without needing to pass in arguments directly to the
LLVM backend.

Following this change, what would be a better name for this flag given that the
current name is rather verbose? Are there any opinions around this?

The LLVM coding guidelines want us to never comment out code; just remove it instead.

1. Updating D41364: move UseDwarfRangesBaseAddressSpecifier to front end flag #
2. Enter a brief description of the changes included in this update.
3. The first line is used as subject, next lines as comment. #
4. If you intended to create a new revision, use:
5. $ arc diff --create

Remove commented code as recommended to adhere to developers guide

As for a name (& might be worth using it here for the MCOption too) - maybe just "DwarfRangesBase" (Not sure if a "Use" prefix is helpful/necessary?), with the intent of the flag being -fdwarf-ranges-base

Open to hearing Adrian & others if they've got any other ideas (:

Might want to put this bool up near the other bools.

Typically we don't comment things out. :)

It looks like all this did was reorder some things. Is llc command processing really that sensitive to order?
