Summary:
Adds support for in-memory round-trip of sample profile data along with basic
round trip unit tests. This will also make it easier to include unit tests for
future changes to sample profiling.

When dumping function samples or writing them out as text format, it
helps if the samples are emitted sorted by source location. The sorting
of the maps is a bit slow, so we only do it on demand.

The number of samples collected at the head of a function only make
sense for top-level functions (i.e., those actually called as opposed to
being inlined inside another).
Head samples essentially count the time spent inside the function's
prologue. This clearly doesn't make sense for inlined functions, so we
were always emitting 0 in those.

This adjusts all integers in the reader/writer to reflect the types
stored on profile files. They should all be unsigned 32-bit or 64-bit
values. Changed all associated internal types to be uint32_t or
uint64_t.
The only place that needed some adjustments is in the sample profile
transformation. Altough the weight read from the profile are 64-bit
values, the internal API for branch weights only accepts 32-bit values.
The pass now saturates weights that overflow uint32_t.

Binary encoded profiles used to encode all function names inline at
every reference. This is clearly suboptimal in terms of space. This
patch fixes this by adding a name table to the header of the file.
llvm-svn: 250241
With this patch we can now read and write inline stacks in sample
profiles to the binary encoded profiles.
In a subsequent patch, I will add a string table to the binary encoding.
Right now function names are emitted as strings every time we find them.
This is too bloated and will produce large files in applications with
lots of inlining.

This fixes memory allocation problems by making the merge operation keep
the profile readers around until the merged profile has been emitted.
This is needed to prevent the inlined function names to disappear from
the function profiles. Since all the names are kept as references, once
the reader disappears, the names are also deallocated.
Additionally, XFAIL on big-endian architectures. The test case uses a
gcov file generated on a little-endian system.

This patch adds support for reading sample profiles with inline stacks.
Inline stacks in a profile are generated when the sampled binary has
samples in inlined functions.
For instance, if main() calls foo() and foo() calls bar(), and bar() is
inlined into foo() and foo() inlined into main(), the profile may look
something like:
main total:364084 head:0
[ ... ]
2.3: _Z3fool total:243786
1: 60149
1.2: 38568
1.4: 46511
1.7: _Z3bari total:98558
1.1: 52672
1.2: 45886
At line 2, discriminator 3, main() calls foo(). In turn, foo() calls
bar() at line 1, discriminator 7.
In the textual format, this stacking of inline calls is represented
with indentation.
With this change, LLVM can now read sample profile files generated by
the create_gcov tool from https://github.com/google/autofdo.

I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.

Summary:
This patch extends the 'show' and 'merge' commands in llvm-profdata to handle
sample PGO formats. Using the 'merge' command it is now possible to convert
one sample PGO format to another.
The only format that is currently not working is 'gcc'. I still need to
implement support for it in lib/ProfileData.
The changes in the sample profile support classes are needed for the
merge operation.

Summary:
This patch finishes up support for handling sampling profiles in both
text and binary formats. The new binary format uses uleb128 encoding to
represent numeric values. This makes profiles files about 25% smaller.
The profile writer class can write profiles in the existing text and the
new binary format. In subsequent patches, I will add the capability to
read (and perhaps write) profiles in the gcov format used by GCC.
Additionally, I will be adding support in llvm-profdata to manipulate
sampling profiles.
There was a bit of refactoring needed to separate some code that was in
the reader files, but is actually common to both the reader and writer.
The new test checks that reading the same profile encoded as text or
raw, produces the same results.
