Summary:
This patch extends the 'show' and 'merge' commands in llvm-profdata to handle
sample PGO formats. Using the 'merge' command it is now possible to convert
one sample PGO format to another.
The only format that is currently not working is 'gcc'. I still need to
implement support for it in lib/ProfileData.
The changes in the sample profile support classes are needed for the
merge operation.

Summary:
This patch finishes up support for handling sampling profiles in both
text and binary formats. The new binary format uses uleb128 encoding to
represent numeric values. This makes profiles files about 25% smaller.
The profile writer class can write profiles in the existing text and the
new binary format. In subsequent patches, I will add the capability to
read (and perhaps write) profiles in the gcov format used by GCC.
Additionally, I will be adding support in llvm-profdata to manipulate
sampling profiles.
There was a bit of refactoring needed to separate some code that was in
the reader files, but is actually common to both the reader and writer.
The new test checks that reading the same profile encoded as text or
raw, produces the same results.

It isn't always useful to skip blank lines, as evidenced by the
somewhat awkward use of line_iterator in llvm-cov. This adds a knob to
control whether or not to skip blanks.

Summary:
This patch moves the profile reading logic out of the Sample Profile
transformation into a generic profile reader facility in
lib/ProfileData.
The intent is to use this new reader to implement a sample profile
reader/writer that can be used to convert sample profiles from external
sources into LLVM.
This first patch introduces no functional changes. It moves the profile
reading code from lib/Transforms/SampleProfile.cpp into
lib/ProfileData/SampleProfReader.cpp.
In subsequent patches I will:
- Add a bitcode format for sample profiles to allow for more efficient
encoding of the profile.
- Add a writer for both text and bitcode format profiles.
- Add a 'convert' command to llvm-profdata to be able to convert between
the two (and serve as entry point for other sample profile formats).
