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.

If we use training algorithms that don't need partial rewards, we don't
need to worry about an ir2native model. In that case, training logs
won't contain a 'delta_size' feature either (since that's the partial
reward).

Different training algorithms may produce models that, besides the main
policy output (i.e. inline/don't inline), produce additional outputs
that are necessary for the next training stage. To facilitate this, in
development mode, we require the training policy infrastructure produce
a description of the outputs that are interesting to it, in the form of
a JSON file. We special-case the first entry in the JSON file as the
inlining decision - we care about its value, so we can guide inlining
during training - but treat the rest as opaque data that we just copy
over to the training log.

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.
