And bump its version number accordingly.
This is a patched recommit of 7c298c104b
Previous hash implementation was incorrectly passing an uint64_t, that got converted
to an uint8_t, to finalize the hash computation. This led to different functions
having the same hash if they only differ by the remaining statements, which is
incorrect.
Added a new test case that trivially tests that a small function change is
reflected in the hash value.
Not that as this patch fixes the hash computation, it would invalidate all hashes
computed before that patch applies, this is why we bumped the version number.
Update profile data hash entries due to hash function update, except for binary
version, in which case we keep the buggy behavior for backward compatibility.

Lifting from Bob Wilson's notes: The hash value that we compute and
store in PGO profile data to detect out-of-date profiles does not
include enough information. This means that many significant changes to
the source will not cause compiler warnings about the profile being out
of date, and worse, we may continue to use the outdated profile data to
make bad optimization decisions. There is some tension here because
some source changes won't affect PGO and we don't want to invalidate the
profile unnecessarily.
This patch adds a new hashing scheme which is more sensitive to loop
nesting, conditions, and out-of-order control flow. Here are examples
which show snippets which get the same hash under the current scheme,
and different hashes under the new scheme:
Loop Nesting Example
--------------------
// Snippet 1
while (foo()) {
while (bar()) {}
}
// Snippet 2
while (foo()) {}
while (bar()) {}
Condition Example
-----------------
// Snippet 1
if (foo())
bar();
baz();
// Snippet 2
if (foo())
bar();
else
baz();
Out-of-order Control Flow Example
---------------------------------
// Snippet 1
while (foo()) {
if (bar()) {}
baz();
}
// Snippet 2
while (foo()) {
if (bar())
continue;
baz();
}
In each of these cases, it's useful to differentiate between the
snippets because swapping their profiles gives bad optimization hints.
The new hashing scheme considers some logical operators in an effort to
detect more changes in conditions. This isn't a perfect scheme. E.g, it
does not produce the same hash for these equivalent snippets:
// Snippet 1
bool c = !a || b;
if (d && e) {}
// Snippet 2
bool f = d && e;
bool c = !a || b;
if (f) {}
This would require an expensive data flow analysis. Short of that, the
new hashing scheme looks reasonably complete, based on a scan over the
statements we place counters on.
Profiles which use the old version of the PGO hash remain valid and can
be used without issue (there are tests in tree which check this).

In preparation for using a binary format for instrumentation based
profiling, explicitly treat the test inputs as text and transform them
before running. This will allow us to leave the checked in files in
human readable format once the instrumentation format is binary.
No functional change.
