The !associated metadata may be attached to a global object declaration
with a single argument that references another global object. This
metadata prevents discarding of the global object in linker GC unless
the referenced object is also discarded.
Furthermore, when a function symbol is discarded by the linker, setting
up !associated metadata allows linker to discard counters, data and
values associated with that function symbol. This is not possible today
because there's metadata to guide the linker. This approach is also used
by other instrumentations like sanitizers.
Note that !associated metadata is only supported by ELF, it does not have
any effect on non-ELF targets.

r355343 was landed and was reverted in r355363 due to build breakage.
This patch adds Linux/Windows support on top of r355343.
In this patch, Darwin should be working with testing case. Linux should be working,
I will enable the testing case in a follwup diff. Windows/Other should be building.
Correct implementation for Other platforms will be added.
Thanks David for reviewing the original diff, helping me with issues on Linux, and
giving suggestions for adding support for Other platforms.

Summary:
The motivating use case is eliminating duplicate profile data registered
for the same inline function in two object files. Before this change,
users would observe multiple symbol definition errors with VC link, but
links with LLD would succeed.
Users (Mozilla) have reported that PGO works well with clang-cl and LLD,
but when using LLD without this static registration, we would get into a
"relocation against a discarded section" situation. I'm not sure what
happens in that situation, but I suspect that duplicate, unused profile
information was retained. If so, this change will reduce the size of
such binaries with LLD.
Now, Windows uses static registration and is in line with all the other
platforms.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
NetBSD uses typical UNIX interfaces.
All tests pass except instrprof-dlopen-dlclose-gcov.test, as there
is not supported semantics of atexit(3) in dlopen(3)ed+dlclose(3)d
DSO.
NetBSD also ships an older version of LLVM profile (ABI v.2 predating
ABI v.4 in upstream version) inside libc. That copy has been manually
removed during the porting and testing process of the upstream version
to NetBSD. Otherwise there were conflicts between them two.

This ports the profiling runtime on Fuchsia and enables the
instrumentation. Unlike on other platforms, Fuchsia doesn't use
files to dump the instrumentation data since on Fuchsia, filesystem
may not be accessible to the instrumented process. We instead use
the data sink to pass the profiling data to the system the same
sanitizer runtimes do.

This includes a few nice bits of refactoring (e.g splitting out the
exclusive locking code into a common utility).
Hopefully the Windows support is fixed now.

- This is to handle a corner case where profile lib is linked
in but non of the modules are instrumented (On linux, since
we avoided the overhead to emit runtime hook use functions so
this is the side effect of that size optimization).
- Added a profile runtime test case to cover all scenarios of
shared library builds.

On Linux, the profile runtime can use __start_SECTNAME and __stop_SECTNAME
symbols defined by the linker to locate the start and end location of
a named section (with C name). This eliminates the need for instrumented
binary to call __llvm_profile_register_function during start-up time.
