Summary:
A recent fix to drop dead symbols (r323633) did not work for ThinLTO
distributed backends because we lose the WithGlobalValueDeadStripping
set on the index during the thin link. This patch adds a new flags
record to the bitcode format for the index, and serializes this flag
for the combined index (it would always be 0 for the per-module index
generated by the compile step, so no need to serialize the new flags
record there until/unless we add another flag that applies to the
per-module indexes).
Generally this flag should always be set for the distributed backends,
which are necessarily performed after the thin link. However, if we were
to simply set this flag on the index applied to the distributed backends
(invoked via clang), we would lose the ability to disable dead stripping
via -compute-dead=false for debugging purposes.

Adds function attributes to index: ReadNone, ReadOnly, NoRecurse, NoAlias. This attributes will be used for future ThinLTO optimizations that will propagate function attributes across modules.

Summary: For SamplePGO, we already record the callsite count in the call instruction itself. So we do not want to use BFI to get profile count as it is less accurate.

Summary: For interative sample-pgo, if a hot call site is inlined in the profiling binary, we should inline it in before profile annotation in the backend. Before that, the compile phase first collects all GUIDs that needs to be imported and creates virtual "hot" call edge in the summary. However, "hot" is not good enough to guarantee the callsites get inlined. This patch introduces "critical" call edge, and assign much higher importing threshold for those edges.

Summary:
Don't use the metadata on call instructions for determining hotness
unless we are in sample PGO mode, where it is needed because profile
counts are not accurate. In instrumentation mode this is not necessary
and does more harm than good when calls have VP metadata that hasn't
been properly scaled after transformations or dropped after constant
prop based devirtualization (both should be fixed, but we don't need
to do this in the first place for instrumentation PGO).
This required adjusting a number of tests to distinguish between sample
and instrumentation PGO handling, and to add in profile summary metadata
so that getProfileCount can get the summary.
