The internal flag -partial-profile in llvm conflicts with the flag with
the same name in llvm-profdata. The conflict happens in builds with
LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB enabled. In this case the tools are linked with libLLVM
and we end up with two definitions for the same cl::opt.
The patch renames llvm-profdata flag -partial-profile to -gen-partial-profile.
Fix the error of show-prof-info.test on some platforms without zlib.
The common profile usage is to collect profile from a target and then use the profile to guide the optimized build for the same target. There are some cases that no profile can be collected for a target. In those cases, although no full profile is available, it is possible to have some partial profile collected from other targets to optimize common libraries and utilities. A flag is needed to tell the partial profile from the full profile apart, so compiler can use different strategy for them.
