[llvm-exegesis] Loop unrolling for loop snippet repetitor mode
I really needed this, like, factually, yesterday,
when verifying dependency breaking idioms for AMD Zen 3 scheduler model.
Consider the following example:
```
$ ./bin/llvm-exegesis --mode=inverse_throughput --snippets-file=/tmp/snippet.s --num-repetitions=1000000 --repetition-mode=duplicate
Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-4a7e50.o
---
mode: inverse_throughput
key:
instructions:
- 'VPXORYrr YMM0 YMM0 YMM0'
config: ''
register_initial_values: []
cpu_name: znver3
llvm_triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
num_repetitions: 1000000
measurements:
- { key: inverse_throughput, value: 0.31025, per_snippet_value: 0.31025 }
error: ''
info: ''
assembled_snippet: C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC0C3
...
```
What does it tell us?
So wait, it can only execute ~3 x86 AVX YMM PXOR zero-idioms per cycle?
That doesn't seem right. That's even less than there are pipes supporting this type of op.
Now, second example:
```
$ ./bin/llvm-exegesis --mode=inverse_throughput --snippets-file=/tmp/snippet.s --num-repetitions=1000000 --repetition-mode=loop
Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-2418b5.o
---
mode: inverse_throughput
key:
instructions:
- 'VPXORYrr YMM0 YMM0 YMM0'
config: ''
register_initial_values: []
cpu_name: znver3
llvm_triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
num_repetitions: 1000000
measurements:
- { key: inverse_throughput, value: 1.00011, per_snippet_value: 1.00011 }
error: ''
info: ''
assembled_snippet: 49B80800000000000000C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC04983C0FF75F2C3
...
```
Now that's just worse. Due to the looping, the throughput completely plummeted,
and now we can only do a single instruction/cycle!?
That's not great.
And final example:
```
$ ./bin/llvm-exegesis --mode=inverse_throughput --snippets-file=/tmp/snippet.s --num-repetitions=1000000 --repetition-mode=loop --loop-body-size=1000
Check generated assembly with: /usr/bin/objdump -d /tmp/snippet-c402e2.o
---
mode: inverse_throughput
key:
instructions:
- 'VPXORYrr YMM0 YMM0 YMM0'
config: ''
register_initial_values: []
cpu_name: znver3
llvm_triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
num_repetitions: 1000000
measurements:
- { key: inverse_throughput, value: 0.167087, per_snippet_value: 0.167087 }
error: ''
info: ''
assembled_snippet: 49B80800000000000000C5FDEFC0C5FDEFC04983C0FF75F2C3
...
```
So if we merge the previous two approaches, do duplicate this single-instruction snippet 1000x
(loop-body-size/instruction count in snippet), and run a loop with 1000 iterations
over that duplicated/unrolled snippet, the measured throughput goes through the roof,
up to 5.9 instructions/cycle, which finally tells us that this idiom is zero-cycle!

[llvm-exegesis] 'Min' repetition mode
Summary:
As noted in documentation, different repetition modes have different trade-offs:

Indeed. Example:

This isn't great for analysis, at least for schedule model development.
As discussed in excruciating detail in

there appears to be an agreement that it is indeed sub-par,
and that we should provide an optional, measurement (not analysis!) -time
way to rectify the situation.
However, the solutions isn't entirely straight-forward.
We can just add an actual 'multiplexer' `MinSnippetRepetitor`, because
if we just concatenate snippets produced by `DuplicateSnippetRepetitor`
and `LoopSnippetRepetitor` and run+measure that, the measurement will
naturally be different from what we'd get by running+measuring
them separately and taking the min.
([[ https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28x%2By%29%2F2+%21%3D+min%28x%2C+y%29 | `time(D+L)/2 != min(time(D), time(L))` ]])
Also, it seems best to me to have a single snippet instead of generating
a snippet per repetition mode, since the only difference here is that the
loop repetition mode reserves one register for loop counter.
As far as i can tell, we can either teach `BenchmarkRunner::runConfiguration()`
to produce a single report given multiple repetitors (as in the patch),
or do that one layer higher - don't modify `BenchmarkRunner::runConfiguration()`,
produce multiple reports, don't actually print each one, but aggregate them somehow
and only print the final one.
Initially i've gone ahead with the latter approach, but it didn't look like a natural fit;
the former (as in the diff) does seem like a better fit to me.
There's also a question of the test coverage. It sure currently does work here:

...
```
but i open to suggestions as to how test that.
I also have gone with the suggestion to default to this new mode.
This was irking me for some time, so i'm happy to finally see progress here.
Looking forward to feedback.
