Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.

The existing coverage tracker counts the number of records that were used
from the input profile. An alternative view of coverage is to check how
many available samples were applied.
This way, if the profile contains several records with few samples, it
doesn't really matter much that they were not applied. The more
interesting records to apply are the ones that contribute many samples.

Previously, subprograms contained a metadata reference to the function they
described. Because most clients need to get or set a subprogram for a given
function rather than the other way around, this created unneeded inefficiency.
For example, many passes needed to call the function llvm::makeSubprogramMap()
to build a mapping from functions to subprograms, and the IR linker needed to
fix up function references in a way that caused quadratic complexity in the IR
linking phase of LTO.
This change reverses the direction of the edge by storing the subprogram as
function-level metadata and removing DISubprogram's function field.
Since this is an IR change, a bitcode upgrade has been provided.
Fixes PR23367. An upgrade script for textual IR for out-of-tree clients is
attached to the PR.

This adds the flag -mllvm -sample-profile-check-coverage=N to the
SampleProfile pass. N is the percent of input sample records that the
user expects to apply. If the pass does not use N% (or more) of the
sample records in the input, it emits a warning.
This is useful to detect some forms of stale profiles. If the code has
drifted enough from the original profile, there will be records that do
not match the IR anymore.
This will not detect cases where a sample profile record for line L is
referring to some other instructions that also used to be at line L.
