Extend the existing single-pass algorithm for `Merger::Merge` with an algorithm that gives better results. This new implementation can be used with a new **set_cover_merge=1** flag.
This greedy set cover implementation gives a substantially smaller final corpus (40%-80% less testcases) while preserving the same features/coverage. At the same time, the execution time penalty is not that significant (+50% for ~1M corpus files and far less for smaller corpora). These results were obtained by comparing several targets with varying size corpora.
Change `Merger::CrashResistantMergeInternalStep` to collect all features from each file and not just unique ones. This is needed for the set cover algorithm to work correctly. The implementation of the algorithm in `Merger::SetCoverMerge` uses a bitvector to store features that are covered by a file while performing the pass. Collisions while indexing the bitvector are ignored similarly to the fuzzer.

Summary:
The description of the fuzzer merge control file appears to be incorrect/out of date.
No "DONE" line appears in the control file. Rather, FT and COV are the markers that appear
following the STARTED line.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Resulting library binaries will be named libclang_rt.fuzzer*, and will
be placed in Clang toolchain, allowing redistribution.
