Please see D93747 for more context which tries to make linkage names of internal
linkage functions to be the uniqueified names. This causes a problem with gdb
because breaking using the demangled function name will not work if the new
uniqueified name cannot be demangled. The problem is the generated suffix which
is a mix of integers and letters which do not demangle. The demangler accepts
either all numbers or all letters. This patch simply converts the hash to decimal.
There is no loss of uniqueness by doing this as the precision is maintained.
The symbol names get longer by a few characters though.

Prepend the module name hash with a fixed string ".__uniq." which helps tools
that consume sampled profiles and attribute it to functions to understand
that this symbol belongs to a unique internal linkage type symbol.
Symbols with suffixes can result from various optimizations in the compiler.
Function Multiversioning, function splitting, parameter constant propogation,
unique internal linkage names.
External tools like sampled profile aggregators combine profiles from multiple
runs of a binary. They use various heuristics with symbols that have suffixes
to try and attribute the profile to the right function instance. For instance
multi-versioned symbols like foo.avx, foo.sse4.2, etc even though different
should be attributed to the same source function if a single function is
versioned, using attribute target_clones (supported in GCC but yet to land in
LLVM). Similarly, functions that are split (split part having a .cold suffix)
could have profiles for both the original and split symbols but would be
aggregated and attributed to the original function that was split.
Unique internal linkage functions however have different source instances and
the aggregator must not put them together but attribute it to the appropriate
function instance. To be sure that we are dealing with a symbol of a unique
internal linkage function, we would like to prepend the hash with a known
string ".__uniq." which these tools can check to understand the suffix type.

With clang option -funique-internal-linkage-symbols, symbols with
internal linkage get names with the module hash appended.
