The API verification tool tapi has difficulty processing frameworks
which enable code coverage, but which have no code. The profile lowering
pass does not emit the runtime hook in this case because no counters are
lowered.
While the hook is not needed for program correctness (the profile
runtime doesn't have to be linked in), it's needed to allow tapi to
validate the exported symbol set of instrumented binaries.
It was not possible to add a workaround in tapi for empty binaries due
to an architectural issue: tapi generates its expected symbol set before
it inspects a binary. Changing that model has a higher cost than simply
forcing llvm to always emit the runtime hook.

Profile symbols have long prefixes which waste space and creating pressure for linker.
This patch shortens the prefixes to minimal length without losing verbosity.

Introduce the ``llvm.instrprof_increment`` intrinsic and the
``-instrprof`` pass. These provide the infrastructure for writing
counters for profiling, as in clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate``.
The implementation of the instrprof pass is ported directly out of the
CodeGenPGO classes in clang, and with the followup in clang that rips
that code out to use these new intrinsics this ends up being NFC.
Doing the instrumentation this way opens some doors in terms of
improving the counter performance. For example, this will make it
simple to experiment with alternate lowering strategies, and allows us
to try handling profiling specially in some optimizations if we want
to.
Finally, this drastically simplifies the frontend and puts all of the
lowering logic in one place.
