Simplify the logic of handling sections in BOLT. This change brings more
direct and predictable mapping of BinarySection instances to sections in
the input and output files.
* Only sections from the input binary will have a non-null SectionRef.
When a new section is created as a copy of the input section,
its SectionRef is reset to null.
* RewriteInstance::getOutputSectionName() is removed as the section name
in the output file is now defined by BinarySection::getOutputName().
* Querying BinaryContext for sections by name uses their original name.
E.g., getUniqueSectionByName(".rodata") will return the original
section even if the new .rodata section was created.
* Input file sections (with relocations applied) are emitted via MC with
".bolt.org" prefix. However, their name in the output binary is
unchanged unless a new section with the same name is created.
* New sections are emitted internally with ".bolt.new" prefix if there's
a name conflict with an input file section. Their original name is
preserved in the output file.
* Section header string table is properly populated with section names
that are actually used. Previously we used to include discarded
section names as well.
* Fix the problem when dynamic relocations were propagated to a new
section with a name that matched a section in the input binary.
E.g., the new .rodata with jump tables had dynamic relocations from
the original .rodata.

When we derive EFMM from SectionMemoryManager, it brings into EFMM extra
functionality, such as the registry of exception handling sections,
page permission management, etc. Such functionality is of no use to
llvm-bolt and can even be detrimental (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56726).
Change the base class of ExecutableFileMemoryManager to MemoryManager,
avoid registering EH sections, and skip memory finalization.

Summary:
Moves source files into separate components, and make explicit
component dependency on each other, so LLVM build system knows how to
build BOLT in BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
Please use the -c merge.renamelimit=230 git option when rebasing your
work on top of this change.
To achieve this, we create a new library to hold core IR files (most
classes beginning with Binary in their names), a new library to hold
Utils, some command line options shared across both RewriteInstance
and core IR files, a new library called Rewrite to hold most classes
concerned with running top-level functions coordinating the binary
rewriting process, and a new library called Profile to hold classes
dealing with profile reading and writing.
To remove the dependency from BinaryContext into X86-specific classes,
we do some refactoring on the BinaryContext constructor to receive a
reference to the specific backend directly from RewriteInstance. Then,
the dependency on X86 or AArch64-specific classes is transfered to the
Rewrite library. We can't have the Core library depend on targets
because targets depend on Core (which would create a cycle).
Files implementing the entry point of a tool are transferred to the
tools/ folder. All header files are transferred to the include/
folder. The src/ folder was renamed to lib/.
