Summary:
This allows counters associated with unused functions to be
dead-stripped along with their functions. This approach is the same one
we used for PC tables.
Fixes an issue where LLD removes an unused PC table but leaves the 8-bit
counter.

Summary:
Using associated metadata rather than llvm.used allows linkers to
perform dead stripping with -fsanitize-coverage=pc-table. Unfortunately
in my local tests, LLD was the only linker that made use of this metadata.
Partially addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34636 and fixes
https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/971.
