Reimplements MisExpect diagnostics from D66324 to reconstruct its
original checking methodology only using MD_prof branch_weights
metadata.
New checks rely on 2 invariants:
1) For frontend instrumentation, MD_prof branch_weights will always be
populated before llvm.expect intrinsics are lowered.
2) for IR and sample profiling, llvm.expect intrinsics will always be
lowered before branch_weights are populated from the IR profiles.
These invariants allow the checking to assume how the existing branch
weights are populated depending on the profiling method used, and emit
the correct diagnostics. If these invariants are ever invalidated, the
MisExpect related checks would need to be updated, potentially by
re-introducing MD_misexpect metadata, and ensuring it always will be
transformed the same way as branch_weights in other optimization passes.
Frontend based profiling is now enabled without using LLVM Args, by
introducing a new CodeGen option, and checking if the -Wmisexpect flag
has been passed on the command line.
