They are not conducive to being stored in git. Instead, we autogenerate
mock model artifacts for use in tests. Production models can be
specified with the cmake flag LLVM_INLINER_MODEL_PATH.
LLVM_INLINER_MODEL_PATH has two sentinel values:
- download, which will download the most recent compatible model.
- autogenerate, which will autogenerate a "fake" model for testing the
model uptake infrastructure.

Summary:
This is the InlineAdvisor used in 'development' mode. It enables two
scenarios:
- loading models via a command-line parameter, thus allowing for rapid
training iteration, where models can be used for the next exploration
phase without requiring recompiling the compiler. This trades off some
compilation speed for the added flexibility.
- collecting training logs, in the form of tensorflow.SequenceExample
protobufs. We generate these as textual protobufs, which simplifies
generation and testing. The protobufs may then be readily consumed by a
tensorflow-based training algorithm.
To speed up training, training logs may also be collected from the
'default' training policy. In that case, this InlineAdvisor does not
use a model.
