The new option is similar to the SampleProfile dump option.
- dump raw/indexed format into text profile format
- merge the profile and output into text profile format.
Note that Value Profiling data text format is not yet designed.
That functionality will be added later.

Introducing llvm-profdata, a tool for merging profile data generated by
PGO instrumentation in clang.
- The name indicates a file extension of <name>.profdata. Eventually
profile data output by clang should be changed to that extension.
- llvm-profdata merges two profiles. However, the name is more general,
since it will likely pick up more tasks (such as summarizing a single
profile).
- llvm-profdata parses the current text-based format, but will be
updated once we settle on a binary format.
