No longer rely on an external tool to build the llvm component layout.
Instead, leverage the existing `add_llvm_componentlibrary` cmake function and
introduce `add_llvm_component_group` to accurately describe component behavior.
These function store extra properties in the created targets. These properties
are processed once all components are defined to resolve library dependencies
and produce the header expected by llvm-config.

Add printf-style precision specifier to pad numbers to a given number of
digits when matching them if the value is smaller than the given
precision. This works on both empty numeric expression (e.g. variable
definition from input) and when matching a numeric expression. The
syntax is as follows:
[[#%.<precision><format specifier>, ...]
where <format specifier> is optional and ... can be a variable
definition or not with an empty expression or not. In the absence of a
precision specifier, a variable definition will accept leading zeros.

When diffing disassembly dump of two binaries, I see lots of noises from mismatched jump target addresses and global data references, which unnecessarily causes diffs on every function, making it impractical. I'm trying to symbolize the raw binary addresses to minimize the diff noise.
In this change, a local branch target is modeled as a label and the branch target operand will simply be printed as a label. Local labels are collected by a separate pre-decoding pass beforehand. A global data memory operand will be printed as a global symbol instead of the raw data address. Unfortunately, due to the way the disassembler is set up and to be less intrusive, a global symbol is always printed as the last operand of a memory access instruction. This is less than ideal but is probably acceptable from checking code quality point of view since on most targets an instruction can have at most one memory operand.
So far only the X86 disassemblers are supported.
Test Plan:
llvm-objdump -d --x86-asm-syntax=intel --no-show-raw-insn --no-leading-addr :
```
Disassembly of section .text:
<_start>:
push rax
mov dword ptr [rsp + 4], 0
mov dword ptr [rsp], 0
mov eax, dword ptr [rsp]
cmp eax, dword ptr [rip + 4112] # 202182 <g>
jge 0x20117e <_start+0x25>
call 0x201158 <foo>
inc dword ptr [rsp]
jmp 0x201169 <_start+0x10>
xor eax, eax
pop rcx
ret
```
llvm-objdump -d **--symbolize-operands** --x86-asm-syntax=intel --no-show-raw-insn --no-leading-addr :
```
Disassembly of section .text:
<_start>:
push rax
mov dword ptr [rsp + 4], 0
mov dword ptr [rsp], 0
<L1>:
mov eax, dword ptr [rsp]
cmp eax, dword ptr <g>
jge <L0>
call <foo>
inc dword ptr [rsp]
jmp <L1>
<L0>:
xor eax, eax
pop rcx
ret
```
Note that the jump instructions like `jge 0x20117e <_start+0x25>` without this work is printed as a real target address and an offset from the leading symbol. With a change in the optimizer that adds/deletes an instruction, the address and offset may shift for targets placed after the instruction. This will be a problem when diffing the disassembly from two optimizers where there are unnecessary false positives due to such branch target address changes. With `--symbolize-operand`, a label is printed for a branch target instead to reduce the false positives. Similarly, the disassemble of PC-relative global variable references is also prone to instruction insertion/deletion.

PGO profile is usually more precise than sample profile. However, PGO profile
needs to be collected from loadtest and loadtest may not be representative
enough to the production workload. Sample profile collected from production
can be used as a supplement -- for functions cold in loadtest but warm/hot
in production, we can scale up the related function in PGO profile if the
function is warm or hot in sample profile.
The implementation contains changes in compiler side and llvm-profdata side.
Given an instr profile and a sample profile, for a function cold in PGO
profile but warm/hot in sample profile, llvm-profdata will either mark
all the counters in the profile to be -1 or scale up the max count in the
function to be above hot threshold, depending on the zero counter ratio in
the profile. The assumption is if there are too many counters being zero
in the function profile, the profile is more likely to cause harm than good,
then llvm-profdata will mark all the counters to be -1 indicating the
function is hot but the profile is unaccountable. In compiler side, if a
function profile with all -1 counters is seen, the function entry count will
be set to be above hot threshold but its internal profile will be dropped.
In the long run, it may be useful to let compiler support using PGO profile
and sample profile at the same time, but that requires more careful design
and more substantial changes to make two profiles work seamlessly. The patch
here serves as a simple intermediate solution.

Its effect could be achieved by
`-stop-after`,`-print-after`,`-print-after-all`. But a few tests need to
print MIR after ISel which could not be done with
`-print-after`/`-stop-after` since isel pass does not have commandline name.
That's the reason `--print-machineinstrs` is downgraded to
`--print-after-isel` in this patch. `--print-after-isel` could be
removed after we switch to new pass manager since isel pass would have a
commandline text name to use `print-after` or equivalent switches.
The motivation of this patch is to reduce tests dependency on
