Wei Mi 81f98562a0 [SampleFDO] Minimize performance impact when profile-sample-accurate
is enabled.

We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling
ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true,
function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could
potentially cause performance regression.

To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be
a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile,
no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat
the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most
callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy
don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source
code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold
individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function
showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current
build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even
profile-sample-accurate is enabled.

At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when
profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined
whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When
profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be
regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass,
so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more
early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance
overall.
