Summary:
When sample profile loader decides not to inline a previously inlined call-site, we adjust the profile of outlined function simply by scaling up its profile counts by call-site count. This means the context-sensitive profile of that inlined instance will be thrown away. This commit try to keep context-sensitive profile for such cases:
- Instead of scaling outlined function's profile, we now properly merge the FunctionSamples of inlined instance into outlined function, including all recursively inlined profile.
- Instead of adjusting the profile for negative inline decision at the end of the sample profile loader pass, we do the profile merge right after processing each function. This change paired with top-down ordering of annotation/inline-replay (a separate diff) will make sure we recursively merge profile back before the profile is used for annotation and inline replay.
A new switch -sample-profile-merge-inlinee is added to enable the new profile merge for tuning. It should be the default behavior eventually.

Summary:
When adjusting function entry counts after inlining, Funciton::setEntryCount is called without providing an import function list. The side effect of that is the previously set import function list will be dropped. The import function list is used by ThinLTO to help import hot cross module callee for LTO inlining, so dropping that during ThinLTO pre-link may adversely affect LTO inlining. The fix is to keep the list while updating entry counts for inlining.
