I might be a good idea to add an overloaded constructor for nullptr and void * 
and delete them so that we can't implicitly create a StringRef from nullptr or 
NULL and cause as crash as it wouldn't compile in the first place.

I am still catching code conversion issues with things like:

if (name == nullptr)

For normal string ref construction we can cut over to using withNullAsEmpty.

Its the cut over to using the DWARF parser in LLVM. There are many functions 
that were missing and I have added them and other things we had in our DWARF 
parser. Any DWARF attribute that is a "const char *" will now be returned as a 
llvm::StringRef. That has wide implications in all of the existing DWARF 
parsing code that was using "const char *" for things like names and mangled 
names and also the ClangASTContext functions, like say to create a RecordDecl, 
it now takes an llvm::StringRef as an argument.
