This patch removes all weight-related interfaces from BPI and replace
them by probability versions. With this patch, we won't use edge weight
anymore in either IR or MC passes. Edge probabilitiy is a better
representation in terms of CFG update and validation.

The current BranchProbability::normalizeProbabilities() forbids known and
unknown probabilities to coexist in the list. This was once used to help
capture probability exceptions but has caused some reported build
failures (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25838).
This patch removes this restriction by evenly distributing the complement
of the sum of all known probabilities to unknown ones. We could still
treat this as an abnormal behavior, but it is better to emit warnings in
our future profile validator.

(This is the second attempt to submit this patch. The first caused two assertion
failures and was reverted. See https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25687)
The patch in http://reviews.llvm.org/D13745 is broken into four parts:
1. New interfaces without functional changes (http://reviews.llvm.org/D13908).
2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities
as weights (http://reviews.llvm.org/D14361).
3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.
4. Remove old interfaces.
This patch is 3+4 above. In this patch, MBB won't provide weight-based
interfaces any more, which are totally replaced by probability-based ones.
The interface addSuccessor() is redesigned so that the default probability is
unknown. We allow unknown probabilities but don't allow using it together
with known probabilities in successor list. That is to say, we either have a
list of successors with all known probabilities, or all unknown
probabilities. In the latter case, we assume each successor has 1/N
probability where N is the number of successors. An assertion checks if the
user is attempting to add a successor with the disallowed mixed use as stated
above. This can help us catch many misuses.
All uses of weight-based interfaces are now updated to use probability-based
ones.

2. Use new interfaces in SelectionDAG, while in other passes treat probabilities

3. Use new interfaces in all other passes.

This the second patch above. In this patch SelectionDAG starts to use
probability-based interfaces in MBB to add successors but other MC passes are
still using weight-based interfaces. Therefore, we need to maintain correct
weight list in MBB even when probability-based interfaces are used. This is
done by updating weight list in probability-based interfaces by treating the
numerator of probabilities as weights. This change affects many test cases
that check successor weight values. I will update those test cases once this
patch looks good to you.

This commit is for a later patch that is depend on it. The sum of two
branch probabilities can be greater than 1 due to rounding. It is safer
to saturate the results of sum and subtraction.

This is part-1 of the patch that replaces all edge weights in MBB by
probabilities, which only adds new interfaces. No functional changes.

Currently in JumpThreading pass, the branch weight metadata is not updated after CFG modification. Consider the jump threading on PredBB, BB, and SuccBB. After jump threading, the weight on BB->SuccBB should be adjusted as some of it is contributed by the edge PredBB->BB, which doesn't exist anymore. This patch tries to update the edge weight in metadata on BB->SuccBB by scaling it by 1 - Freq(PredBB->BB) / Freq(BB->SuccBB).
This is the third attempt to submit this patch, while the first two led to failures in some FDO tests. After investigation, it is the edge weight normalization that caused those failures. In this patch the edge weight normalization is fixed so that there is no zero weight in the output and the sum of all weights can fit in 32-bit integer. Several unit tests are added.

llvm::format compiles down to snprintf which has no defined rounding for
floating point arguments, and MSVC has implemented it differently from
what the BSD libcs and glibc do. Try to emulate the glibc rounding
behavior to avoid changing tests.
While there simplify code a bit and move trivial methods inline.

BranchProbability now is represented by its numerator and denominator in uint32_t type. This patch changes this representation into a fixed point that is represented by the numerator in uint32_t type and a constant denominator 1<<31. This is quite similar to the representation of BlockMass in BlockFrequencyInfoImpl.h. There are several pros and cons of this change:
Pros:
1. It uses only a half space of the current one.
2. Some operations are much faster like plus, subtraction, comparison, and scaling by an integer.
Cons:
1. Constructing a probability using arbitrary numerator and denominator needs additional calculations.
2. It is a little less precise than before as we use a fixed denominator. For example, 1 - 1/3 may not be exactly identical to 1 / 3 (this will lead to many BranchProbability unit test failures). This should not matter when we only use it for branch probability. If we use it like a rational value for some precise calculations we may need another construct like ValueRatio.
One important reason for this change is that we propose to store branch probabilities instead of edge weights in MachineBasicBlock. We also want clients to use probability instead of weight when adding successors to a MBB. The current BranchProbability has more space which may be a concern.
