Special case DUMMY_SP to emit line 0/column 0 locations on DWARF platforms.
Line 0 has a special meaning in DWARF. From the version 5 spec:
The compiler may emit the value 0 in cases
where an instruction cannot be attributed to any
source line.
DUMMY_SP spans cannot be attributed to any line. However, because rustc internally stores line numbers starting at zero, lookup_debug_loc() adjusts every line number by one. Special casing DUMMY_SP to actually emit line 0 ensures rustc communicates to the debugger that there's no meaningful source code for this instruction, rather than telling the debugger to jump to line 1 randomly.
