GCC 7 introduced -fprofile-update={atomic,prefer-atomic} (prefer-atomic is for
best efforts (some targets do not support atomics)) to increment counters
atomically, which is exactly what we have done with -fprofile-instr-generate
(D50867) and -fprofile-arcs (b5ef137c11).
This patch adds the option to clang to surface the internal options at driver level.
GCC 7 also turned on -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic when -pthread is specified,
but it has performance regression
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89307). So we don't follow suit.

Thread sanitizer instrumentation fails to skip all loads and stores to
profile counters. This can happen if profile counter updates are merged:
%.sink = phi i64* ...
%pgocount5 = load i64, i64* %.sink
%27 = add i64 %pgocount5, 1
%28 = bitcast i64* %.sink to i8*
call void @__tsan_write8(i8* %28)
store i64 %27, i64* %.sink
To suppress TSan diagnostics about racy counter updates, make the
counter updates atomic when TSan is enabled. If there's general interest
in this mode it can be surfaced as a clang/swift driver option.
