Many optimizers (e.g. GlobalOpt/ConstantMerge) do not respect linker semantics
for comdat and may not discard the sections as a unit.
The interconnected `__llvm_prf_{cnts,data}` sections (in comdat for ELF)
are similar to D97432: `__profd_` is not directly referenced, so
`__profd_` may be discarded while `__profc_` is retained, breaking the
interconnection. We currently conservatively add all such sections to
`llvm.used` and let the linker do GC for ELF.
In D97448, we will change GlobalObject's in the llvm.used list to use SHF_GNU_RETAIN,
causing the metadata sections to be unnecessarily retained (some `check-profile` tests check for GC).
Use `llvm.compiler.used` to retain the current GC behavior.
