[RemoveDIs] Load into new debug info format by default in llvm-link (#…

…86274)

Directly load all bitcode into the new debug info format in llvm-link.
This means that new-mode bitcode no longer round-trips back to old-mode
after parsing, and that old-mode bitcode gets auto-upgraded to new-mode
debug info (which is the current in-memory default in LLVM).
