Inline virtual functions has linkeonceodr linkage (emitted in comdat on
supporting targets). If the vtable for the class is not emitted in the
defining module, function won't be address taken thus its address is not
recorded. At the mercy of the linker, if the per-func prf_data from this
module (in comdat) is picked at link time, we will lose mapping from
function address to its hash val. This leads to missing icall promotion.
The second test case (currently disabled) in compiler_rt (r271528):
instrprof-icall-prom.test demostrates the bug. The first profile-use
subtest is fine due to linker order difference.
With this change, no missing icall targets is found in instrumented clang's
raw profile.

This reduces sizes of instrumented object files, final binaries,
process images, and raw profile data.
The format of the indexed profile data remain the same.

The linker requires that a comdat section must be associated
with a another comdat section that precedes it. This
means the comdat section's name needs to use the profile name
var's name.
Patch tested by Johan Engelen.

When targeting COFF, it is required that a comdat section to
have a global obj with the same name as the comdat (except for
comdats with select kind to be associative). This fix makes
sure that the comdat is keyed on the data variable for COFF.
Also improved test coverage for this.

Profile symbols have long prefixes which waste space and creating pressure for linker.
This patch shortens the prefixes to minimal length without losing verbosity.

This change introduces an instrumentation intrinsic instruction for
value profiling purposes, the lowering of the instrumentation intrinsic
and raw reader updates. The raw profile data files for llvm-profdata
testing are updated.

In -fprofile-instr-generate compilation, to remove the redundant profile
variables for the COMDAT functions, these variables are placed in the same
COMDAT group as its associated function. This way when the COMDAT function
is not picked by the linker, those profile variables will also not be
output in the final binary. This may cause warning when mix link objects
built w and wo -fprofile-instr-generate.
This patch puts the profile variables for COMDAT functions to its own COMDAT
group to avoid the problem.
Patch by xur.

This fixes a bit I forgot in r238335. In addition to the data record and
the counter, we can also move the name of the counter to the comdat for
the associated function.
I'm also adding an IR test case to check that these three elements are
placed in the proper comdat.
