Currently when we add a new section in the profile format and generate a profile
containing the new section, older compiler which reads the new profile will
issue an error. The forward incompatibility can cause unnecessary churn when
extending the profile. This patch removes the incompatibility when adding a new
section for extbinary format.

Currently context strings contain a lot of duplicated function names and that significantly increase the profile size. This change split the context into a series of {name, offset, discriminator} tuples so function names used in the context can be replaced by the index into the name table and that significantly reduce the size consumed by context.
A follow-up improvement made in the compiler and profiling tools is to avoid reconstructing full context strings which is time- and memory- consuming. Instead a context vector of `StringRef` is adopted to represent the full context in all scenarios. As a result, the previous prevalent profile map which was implemented as a `StringRef` is now engineered as an unordered map keyed by `SampleContext`. `SampleContext` is reshaped to using an `ArrayRef` to represent a full context for CS profile. For non-CS profile, it falls back to use `StringRef` to represent a contextless function name. Both the `ArrayRef` and `StringRef` objects are underpinned by real array and string objects that are stored in producer buffers. For compiler, they are maintained by the sample reader. For llvm-profgen, they are maintained in `ProfiledBinary` and `ProfileGenerator`. Full context strings can be generated only in those cases of debugging and printing.
When it comes to profile format, nothing has changed to the text format, though internally CS context is implemented as a vector. Extbinary format is only changed for CS profile, with an additional `SecCSNameTable` section which stores all full contexts logically in the form of `vector<int>`, which each element as an offset points to `SecNameTable`. All occurrences of contexts elsewhere are redirected to using the offset of `SecCSNameTable`.
Testing
This is no-diff change in terms of code quality and profile content (for text profile).
For our internal large service (aka ads), the profile generation is cut to half, with a 20x smaller string-based extbinary format generated.
The compile time of ads is dropped by 25%.

Sample profiles are stored in a string map which is basically an unordered map. Printing out profiles by simply walking the string map doesn't enforce an order. I'm sorting the map in the decreasing order of total samples to enable a more stable dump, which is good for comparing two dumps.

Change `CountersPtr` in `__profd_` to a label difference, which is a link-time
constant. On ELF, when linking a shared object, this requires that `__profc_` is
either private or linkonce/linkonce_odr hidden. On COFF, we need D104564 so that
`.quad a-b` (64-bit label difference) can lower to a 32-bit PC-relative relocation.
```
# ELF: R_X86_64_PC64 (PC-relative)
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo
# Mach-O: a pair of 8-byte X86_64_RELOC_UNSIGNED and X86_64_RELOC_SUBTRACTOR

# COFF: we actually use IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32/IMAGE_REL_ARM64_REL32 so
# the high 32-bit value is zero even if .L__profc_foo < .L__profd_foo
# As compensation, we truncate CountersDelta in the header so that
# __llvm_profile_merge_from_buffer and llvm-profdata reader keep working.
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo

(Note: link.exe sorts `.lprfc` before `.lprfd` even if the object writer

Dangling probes are the probes associated to an empty block. This usually happens when all real instructions are optimized away from the block. There is a problem with dangling probes during the offline counts processing. The way the sample profiler works is that samples collected on the first physical instruction following a probe will be counted towards the probe. This logically equals to treating the instruction next to a probe as if it is from the same block of the probe. In the dangling probe case, the real instruction following a dangling probe actually starts a new block, and samples collected on the new block may cause issues when counted towards the empty block.
To mitigate this issue, we first try to move around a dangling probe inside its owning block. If there are still native instructions preceding the probe in the same block, we can then use them as a place holder to collect samples for the probe. A pass is added to walk each block backwards looking for probes not followed by any real instruction and moving them before the first real instruction. This is done right before the object emission.
If we are unlucky to find such in-block preceding instructions for a probe, the solution we are taking is to tag such probe as dangling so that the samples reported for them will not be trusted by the compiler. We leave it up to the counts inference algorithm to get such probes a reasonable count. The number `UINT64_MAX` is used to mark sample count as collected for a dangling probe.

This change brings up support of context-sensitive profiles in the format of extended binary. Existing sample profile reader/writer/merger code is being tweaked to reflect the fact of bracketed input contexts, like (`[...]`). The paired brackets are also needed in extbinary profiles because we don't yet have an otherwise good way to tell calling contexts apart from regular function names since the context delimiter `@` can somehow serve as a part of the C++ mangled names.

This change enables pseudo-probe-based sample counts to be consumed by the sample profile loader under the regular `-fprofile-sample-use` switch with minimal adjustments to the existing sample file formats. After the counts are imported, a probe helper, aka, a `PseudoProbeManager` object, is automatically launched to verify the CFG checksum of every function in the current compilation against the corresponding checksum from the profile. Mismatched checksums will cause a function profile to be slipped. A `SampleProfileProber` pass is scheduled before any of the `SampleProfileLoader` instances so that the CFG checksums as well as probe mappings are available during the profile loading time. The `PseudoProbeManager` object is set up right after the profile reading is done. In the future a CFG-based fuzzy matching could be done in `PseudoProbeManager`.
Samples will be applied only to pseudo probe instructions as well as probed callsites once the checksum verification goes through. Those instructions are processed in the same way that regular instructions would be processed in the line-number-based scenario. In other words, a function is processed in a regular way as if it was reduced to just containing pseudo probes (block probes and callsites).
**Adjustment to profile format **
A CFG checksum field is being added to the existing AutoFDO profile formats. So far only the text format and the extended binary format are supported. For the text format, a new line like
```
!CFGChecksum: 12345
```
is added to the end of the body sample lines. For the extended binary profile format, we introduce a metadata section to store the checksum map from function names to their CFG checksums.

Implemented the `llvm-profdata overlap` feature for sample profiles. It reports weighted //similarity// and unweighted //overlap// metrics at program and function level for two input profiles. Similarity metrics are symmetric with regards to the order of two input profiles. By default, the tool only reports program-level summary. Users can look into function-level details via additional options `--function`, `--similarity-cutoff`, and `--value-cutoff`.
The similarity metrics are designed as follows:
* Program-level summary
* Whole program profile similarity is an aggregate over function-level similarity `FS`: `PS = sum(FS(A) * avg_weight(A))` for all function `A`.
* Whole program sample overlap: `PSO = common_samples / total_samples`.
* Function overlap: `FO = #common_function / #total_function`.
* Hot-function overlap: `HFO = #common_hot_function / #total_hot_function`.
* Hot-block overlap: `HBO = #common_hot_block / #total_hot_block`.
* Function-level details
* Function-level similarity is an aggregate over line/block-level similarities `BS` of all sample lines/blocks in the function, weighted by the closeness of the function's weights in two profiles: `FS = sum(BS(i)) * (1 - weight_distance(A))`.
* Function-level sample overlap: `FSO = common_samples / total_samples` for samples in the function.

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.

Add support for continuously syncing profile counter updates to a file.
The motivation for this is that programs do not always exit cleanly. On
iOS, for example, programs are usually killed via a signal from the OS.
Running atexit() handlers after catching a signal is unreliable, so some
method for progressively writing out profile data is necessary.
The approach taken here is to mmap() the `__llvm_prf_cnts` section onto
a raw profile. To do this, the linker must page-align the counter and
data sections, and the runtime must ensure that counters are mapped to a
page-aligned offset within a raw profile.
Continuous mode is (for the moment) incompatible with the online merging
mode. This limitation is lifted in https://reviews.llvm.org/D69586.
Continuous mode is also (for the moment) incompatible with value
profiling, as I'm not sure whether there is interest in this and the
implementation may be tricky.
As I have not been able to test extensively on non-Darwin platforms,
only Darwin support is included for the moment. However, continuous mode
may "just work" without modification on Linux and some UNIX-likes. AIUI
the default value for the GNU linker's `--section-alignment` flag is set
to the page size on many systems. This appears to be true for LLD as
well, as its `no_nmagic` option is on by default. Continuous mode will
not "just work" on Fuchsia or Windows, as it's not possible to mmap() a
section on these platforms. There is a proposal to add a layer of
indirection to the profile instrumentation to support these platforms.
