Summary:
This is a re-roll of D36615 which uses PLT relocations in the back-end
to the call to __xray_CustomEvent() when building in -fPIC and
-fxray-instrument mode.

Summary:
This change achieves two things:
- Redefine the Custom Event handling instrumentation points emitted by
the compiler to not require dynamic relocation of references to the
__xray_CustomEvent trampoline.
- Remove the synthetic reference we emit at the end of a function that
we used to keep auxiliary sections alive in favour of SHF_LINK_ORDER
associated with the section where the function is defined.
To achieve the custom event handling change, we've had to introduce the
concept of sled versioning -- this will need to be supported by the
runtime to allow us to understand how to turn on/off the new version of
the custom event handling sleds. That change has to land first before we
change the way we write the sleds.
To remove the synthetic reference, we rely on a relatively new linker
feature that preserves the sections that are associated with each other.
This allows us to limit the effects on the .text section of ELF
binaries.
Because we're still using absolute references that are resolved at
runtime for the instrumentation map (and function index) maps, we mark
these sections write-able. In the future we can re-define the entries in
the map to use relative relocations instead that can be statically
determined by the linker. That change will be a bit more invasive so we
defer this for later.
Depends on D36816.

Summary:
When we're building with XRay instrumentation, we use a trick that
preserves references from the function to a function sled index. This
index table lives in a separate section, and without this trick the
linker is free to garbage-collect this section and all the segments it
refers to. Until we're able to tell the linkers to preserve these
sections, we use this reference trick to keep around both the index and
the entries in the instrumentation map.
Before this change we emitted both a synthetic reference to the label in
the instrumentation map, and to the entry in the function map index.
This change removes the first synthetic reference and only emits one
synthetic reference to the index -- the index entry has the references
to the labels in the instrumentation map, so the linker will still
preserve those if the function itself is preserved.
This reduces the amount of synthetic references we emit from 16 bytes to
just 8 bytes in x86_64, and similarly to other platforms.

Summary:
This change adds a new section to the xray-instrumented binary that
stores an index into ranges of the instrumentation map, where sleds
associated with the same function can be accessed as an array. At
runtime, we can get access to this index by function ID offset allowing
for selective patching and unpatching by function ID.
Each entry in this new section (xray_fn_idx) will include two pointers
indicating the start and one past the end of the sleds associated with
the same function. These entries will be 16 bytes long on x86 and
aarch64. On arm, we align to 16 bytes anyway so the runtime has to take
that into consideration.
__{start,stop}_xray_fn_idx will be the symbols that the runtime will
look for when we implement the selective patching/unpatching by function
id APIs. Because XRay synthesizes the function id's in a monotonically
increasing manner at runtime now, implementations (and users) can use
this table to look up the sleds associated with a specific function.
This is useful in implementations that want to do things like:
- Implement coverage mode for functions by patching everything
pre-main, then as functions are encountered, the installed handler
can unpatch the function that's been encountered after recording
that it's been called.
- Do "learning mode", so that the implementation can figure out some
statistical information about function calls by function id for a
time being, and then determine which functions are worth
uninstrumenting at runtime.
- Do "selective instrumentation" where an implementation can
specifically instrument only certain function id's at runtime
(either based on some external data, or through some other
heuristics) instead of patching all the instrumented functions at
runtime.

This patch adds a test for the assembly code emitted with XRay
instrumentation. It also fixes a bug where the operand of a jump
instruction must be not the number of bytes to jump over, but rather the
number of 4-byte instructions.
