Summary:
"short" is defined as an xray flag, and buffer rewinding happens for both exits
and tail exits.
I've made the choice to seek backwards finding pairs of FunctionEntry, TailExit
record pairs and erasing them if the FunctionEntry occurred before exit from the
currently exiting function. This is a compromise so that we don't skip logging
tail calls if the function that they call into takes longer our duration.
This works by counting the consecutive function and function entry, tail exit
pairs that proceed the current point in the buffer. The buffer is rewound to
check whether these entry points happened recently enough to be erased.
It is still possible we will omit them if they call into a child function that
is not instrumented which calls a fast grandchild that is instrumented before
doing other processing.

Summary:
Currently, we assume that applications built with XRay would like to
have the instrumentation sleds patched before main starts. This patch
changes the default so that we do not patch the instrumentation sleds
before main. This default is more helpful for deploying applications in
environments where changing the current default is harder (i.e. on
remote machines, or work-pool-like systems).
This default (not to patch pre-main) makes it easier to selectively run
applications with XRay instrumentation enabled, than with the current
state.

Summary:
In this change we introduce the notion of a "flight data recorder" mode
for XRay logging, where XRay logs in-memory first, and write out data
on-demand as required (as opposed to the naive implementation that keeps
logging while tracing is "on"). This depends on D26232 where we
implement the core data structure for holding the buffers that threads
will be using to write out records of operation.
This implementation only currently works on x86_64 and depends heavily
on the TSC math to write out smaller records to the inmemory buffers.
Also, this implementation defines two different kinds of records with
different sizes (compared to the current naive implementation): a
MetadataRecord (16 bytes) and a FunctionRecord (8 bytes). MetadataRecord
entries are meant to write out information like the thread ID for which
the metadata record is defined for, whether the execution of a thread
moved to a different CPU, etc. while a FunctionRecord represents the
different kinds of function call entry/exit records we might encounter
in the course of a thread's execution along with a delta from the last
time the logging handler was called.
While this implementation is not exactly what is described in the
original XRay whitepaper, this one gives us an initial implementation
that we can iterate and build upon.

Depends on D21612 which implements the building blocks for the compiler-rt
implementation of the XRay runtime. We use a naive in-memory log of fixed-size
entries that get written out to a log file when the buffers are full, and when
the thread exits.
This implementation lays some foundations on to allowing for more complex XRay
records to be written to the log in subsequent changes. It also defines the format
that the function call accounting tool in D21987 will start building upon.
Once D21987 lands, we should be able to start defining more tests using that tool
once the function call accounting tool becomes part of the llvm distribution.

Original commit description:
This patch implements the initialisation and patching routines for the XRay runtime, along with the necessary trampolines for function entry/exit handling. For now we only define the basic hooks for allowing an implementation to define a handler that gets run on function entry/exit. We expose a minimal API for controlling the behaviour of the runtime (patching, cleanup, and setting the handler to invoke when instrumenting).
Fixes include:
- Gating XRay build to only Linux x86_64 and with the right dependencies in case it is the only library being built
- Including <cstddef> to fix std::size_t issue
