I was able to reproduce the failure to apply llvm-dsymutil on the last
mozilla-central revision before debug info was temporarily disabled for
rust, and validated that the problem was gone in clang 4.
After some bisection, r289565 was identified as having fixed the
problem, which, reading the commit message, makes sense.
It was however not possible to simply cherry-pick, because of multiple
code changes between 3.9 and 4. However, apart from the volume of
conflicting changes, it was more or less straightforward to backport.
Interestingly, the patch for r313872 was relying on changes from
r289565, which is why it required a variant specifically for 3.9, but
now we can use the same patch as for other versions. Well, except
there's a small difference in the context, and build-clang.py doesn't
allow fuzz, so we manually edit the patch to remove that line from the
context.
