Summary:
The -fxray-always-emit-customevents flag instructs clang to always emit
the LLVM IR for calls to the `__xray_customevent(...)` built-in
function. The default behaviour currently respects whether the function
has an `[[clang::xray_never_instrument]]` attribute, and thus not lower
the appropriate IR code for the custom event built-in.
This change allows users calling through to the
`__xray_customevent(...)` built-in to always see those calls lowered to
the corresponding LLVM IR to lay down instrumentation points for these
custom event calls.
Using this flag enables us to emit even just the user-provided custom
events even while never instrumenting the start/end of the function
where they appear. This is useful in cases where "phase markers" using
__xray_customevent(...) can have very few instructions, must never be
instrumented when entered/exited.
