It turns out that during training, the time required to parse the
textual protobuf of a training log is about the same as the time it
takes to compile the module generating that log. Using binary protobufs
instead elides that cost almost completely.

They are not conducive to being stored in git. Instead, we autogenerate
mock model artifacts for use in tests. Production models can be
specified with the cmake flag LLVM_INLINER_MODEL_PATH.
LLVM_INLINER_MODEL_PATH has two sentinel values:
- download, which will download the most recent compatible model.
- autogenerate, which will autogenerate a "fake" model for testing the
model uptake infrastructure.

Enable performing mandatory inlinings upfront, by reusing the same logic
as the full inliner, instead of the AlwaysInliner. This has the
following benefits:
- reduce code duplication - one inliner codebase
- open the opportunity to help the full inliner by performing additional
function passes after the mandatory inlinings, but before th full
inliner. Performing the mandatory inlinings first simplifies the problem
the full inliner needs to solve: less call sites, more contextualization, and,
depending on the additional function optimization passes run between the
2 inliners, higher accuracy of cost models / decision policies.
Note that this patch does not yet enable much in terms of post-always
inline function optimization.

We don't want mandatory events in the training log. We do want to handle
them, to keep the native size accounting accurate, but that's all.
Fixed the code, also expanded the test to capture this.

Summary:
This is the InlineAdvisor used in 'development' mode. It enables two
scenarios:
- loading models via a command-line parameter, thus allowing for rapid
training iteration, where models can be used for the next exploration
phase without requiring recompiling the compiler. This trades off some
compilation speed for the added flexibility.
- collecting training logs, in the form of tensorflow.SequenceExample
protobufs. We generate these as textual protobufs, which simplifies
generation and testing. The protobufs may then be readily consumed by a
tensorflow-based training algorithm.
To speed up training, training logs may also be collected from the
'default' training policy. In that case, this InlineAdvisor does not
use a model.
