Summary: For interative sample-pgo, if a hot call site is inlined in the profiling binary, we should inline it in before profile annotation in the backend. Before that, the compile phase first collects all GUIDs that needs to be imported and creates virtual "hot" call edge in the summary. However, "hot" is not good enough to guarantee the callsites get inlined. This patch introduces "critical" call edge, and assign much higher importing threshold for those edges.

Summary:
Don't use the metadata on call instructions for determining hotness
unless we are in sample PGO mode, where it is needed because profile
counts are not accurate. In instrumentation mode this is not necessary
and does more harm than good when calls have VP metadata that hasn't
been properly scaled after transformations or dropped after constant
prop based devirtualization (both should be fixed, but we don't need
to do this in the first place for instrumentation PGO).
This required adjusting a number of tests to distinguish between sample
and instrumentation PGO handling, and to add in profile summary metadata
so that getProfileCount can get the summary.

Add a top-level STRTAB block containing a string table blob, and start storing
strings for module codes FUNCTION, GLOBALVAR, ALIAS, IFUNC and COMDAT in
the string table.
This change allows us to share names between globals and comdats as well
as between modules, and improves the efficiency of loading bitcode files by
no longer using a bit encoding for symbol names. Once we start writing the
irsymtab to the bitcode file we will also be able to share strings between
it and the module.
On my machine, link time for Chromium for Linux with ThinLTO decreases by
about 7% for no-op incremental builds or about 1% for full builds. Total
bitcode file size decreases by about 3%.

Summary: For SamplePGO, the profile may contain cross-module inline stacks. As we need to make sure the profile annotation happens when all the hot inline stacks are expanded, we need to pass this info to the module importer so that it can import proper functions if necessary. This patch implemented this feature by emitting cross-module targets as part of function entry metadata. In the module-summary phase, the metadata is used to build call edges that points to functions need to be imported.

Also make the summary ref and call graph vectors immutable. This means
a smaller API surface and fewer places to audit for non-determinism.

Summary:
This patch improves thinlto importer
by importing 3x larger functions that are called from hot block.
I compared performance with the trunk on spec, and there
were about 2% on povray and 3.33% on milc. These results seems
to be consistant and match the results Teresa got with her simple
heuristic. Some benchmarks got slower but I think they are just
noisy (mcf, xalancbmki, omnetpp)- running the benchmarks again with
more iterations to confirm. Geomean of all benchmarks including the noisy ones
were about +0.02%.
I see much better improvement on google branch with Easwaran patch
for pgo callsite inlining (the inliner actually inline those big functions)
Over all I see +0.5% improvement, and I get +8.65% on povray.
So I guess we will see much bigger change when Easwaran patch will land
(it depends on new pass manager), but it is still worth putting this to trunk
before it.
Implementation details changes:
- Removed CallsiteCount.
- ProfileCount got replaced by Hotness
- hot-import-multiplier is set to 3.0 for now,
didn't have time to tune it up, but I see that we get most of the interesting
functions with 3, so there is no much performance difference with higher, and
binary size doesn't grow as much as with 10.0.
