Summary:
Sometimes symbols are added to the symbol table multiple times during
translation from LLVM to LLAIR. For example, this happens when a
`llvm.dbg.declare` instruction is encountered that attaches a debug
location to a symbol. Currently when this happens, the symbol name is
regenerated unnecessarily. This is not economical, and since counters
are used in some cases to avoid clashes, this can cause visible
changes to names.
This diff fixes this, and also makes the location update more robust
by not relying on the location added last being the best.

Summary:
Change the type of `fold` functions to enable them to compose
better. The guiding reasoning behind using types such as:
```
val fold : 'a t -> 's -> f:('a -> 's -> 's) -> 's
```
is:
1. The function argument should be labeled. This is so that it can be
reordered relative to the others, since it is often a multi-line
`fun` expression.
2. The function argument should come last. This enables its
arguments (which are often polymorphic) to benefit from type-based
disambiguation information determined by the types of the other
arguments at the call sites.
3. The function argument's type should produce an
accumulator-transformer when partially-applied. That is,
`f x : 's -> 's`. This composes well with other functions designed
to produce transformers/endofunctions when partially applied, and
in particular improves the common case of composing folds into
"state-passing style" code.
4. The fold function itself should produce an accumulator-transformer
when partially applied. So `'a t -> 's -> f:_ -> 's` rather than
`'s -> 'a t -> f:_ -> 's` or `'a t -> init:'s -> f:_ -> 's` etc.
