Source code location capture

[dividedmind]

Source code location isn't embedded directly in .net binaries, but is stored separately in .pdb files. There is some infrastructure in the runtime to locate and extract the relevant data, but it can turn out to be quite difficult to use; the instrumentation method itself can't use managed code reliably, and these routines are managed.
