[DebugInfo] LiveDebugValues: correctly discriminate between kinds of variable locations

Summary

The missing line added by this patch ensures that only spilt variable locations are candidates for being restored from the stack. Otherwise, register or constant-value information can be interpreted as a spill location, through a union.

The added regression test replicates a scenario where this occurs: the stack load from [rsp] causes the register-location DBG_VALUE to be "restored" to rsi, when it should be left alone. See PR43058 for details.

Un x-fail a test that was suffering from this from a previous patch.

This causes a clang-3.4 build to gain 2% more scope-covered bytes, because the scenario in the regression test was interfering with stack variable locations created by LiveDebugVariables.
