D68041 placed `__profc_`, `__profd_` and (if exists) `__profvp_` in different comdat groups.
There are some issues:
* Cost: one or two additional section headers (`.group` section(s)): 64 or 128 bytes on ELF64.
* `__profc_`, `__profd_` and (if exists) `__profvp_` should be retained or
discarded. Placing them into separate comdat groups is conceptually inferior.
* If the prevailing group does not include `__profvp_` (value profiling not
used) but a non-prevailing group from another translation unit has `__profvp_`
(the function is inlined into another and triggers value profiling), there
will be a stray `__profvp_` if --gc-sections is not enabled.
This has been fixed by 3d6f53018f.
Actually, we can reuse an existing symbol (we choose `__profd_`) as the group
signature to avoid a string in the string table (the sole reason that D68041
could improve code size is that `__profv_` was an otherwise unused symbol which
wasted string table space). This saves one or two section headers.
For a -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED=IR build, `ninja
clang lld`, the patch has saved 10.5MiB (2.2%) for the total .o size.

This patch adds the value profile support to profile the size parameter of
memory intrinsic calls: memcpy, memcmp, and memmov.

On some architectures (s390x, ppc64, sparc64, mips), C-level int is passed
as i32 signext instead of plain i32. Likewise, unsigned int may be passed
as i32, i32 signext, or i32 zeroext depending on the platform. Mark
__llvm_profile_instrument_target properly (its last parameter is unsigned
int).
This (together with the clang change) makes compiler-rt profile testsuite pass
on s390x.
