IR Support Utilities - Helper classes for IR generation and processing.

This package contains utility classes that support IR generation and analysis.

Key Classes:

• DebugInfo - Source location and debug information
• CallMetaDataExtractor - Utility for extracting call metadata

These utilities are used during IR generation in Phase 10 and during code generation in the backend phases.
