Replace a single dash with a double dash for options that have more
than a single letter.
llvm-bolt-wrapper.py has special treatment for output options such as
"-o" and "-w" causing issues when a single dash is used, e.g. for
"-write-dwp". The wrapper can be fixed as well, but using a double dash
has other advantages as well.

Replace "cache+" with "ext-tsp" in all BOLT tests
Test Plan:
```
ninja check-bolt
grep -rnw . -e "cache+"
```
no more tests containing "cache+"
"cache+" and "ext-tsp" are aliases

It seems the earlier implementation does not follow the description
in LoopRotationPass.h: It rotates loops even if they are already laid out
correctly. The diff adjusts the behaviour.
Given that the impact of LoopInversionPass is minor, this change won't
yield significant perf differences. Tested on clang-10: there seems to be a
0.1%-0.3% cpu win and a small reduction of branch misses.
**Before:**
BOLT-INFO: 120 Functions were reordered by LoopInversionPass
**After:**
BOLT-INFO: 79 Functions were reordered by LoopInversionPass

Summary:
This patch introduces LoopInversionPass. Its main purpose is to ensure
that the loop layout is optimal depending on the profile information. So
if profile information shows that the loop is used, the unconditional
jump instruction must be executed only once and vice-versa. Please take
a look to the pass header file and test for more details.
Also change link_fdata script a bit, to be able to change FDATA prefix,
like FileCheck does.
