[Propeller] Use Fixed MBB ID instead of volatile MachineBasicBlock::Number.

Let Propeller use specialized IDs for basic blocks, instead of MBB number.

This allows optimizations not just prior to asm-printer, but throughout the entire codegen.
This patch only implements the functionality under the new `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` version, but the old version is still being used. A later patch will change the used version.

####Background
Today Propeller uses machine basic block (MBB) numbers, which already exist, to map native assembly to machine IR. This is done as follows.
- Basic block addresses are captured and dumped into the `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` section just before the AsmPrinter pass which writes out object files. This ensures that we have a mapping that is close to assembly.
- Profiling mapping works by taking a virtual address of an instruction and looking up the `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` section to find the MBB number it corresponds to.
- While this works well today, we need to do better when we scale Propeller to target other Machine IR optimizations like spill code optimization. Register allocation happens earlier in the Machine IR pipeline and we need an annotation mechanism that is valid at that point.
- The current scheme will not work in this scenario because the MBB number of a particular basic block is not fixed and changes over the course of codegen (via renumbering, adding, and removing the basic blocks).
- In other words, the volatile MBB numbers do not provide a one-to-one correspondence throughout the lifetime of Machine IR. Profile annotation using MBB numbers is restricted to a fixed point; only valid at the exact point where it was dumped.
- Further, the object file can only be dumped before AsmPrinter and cannot be dumped at an arbitrary point in the Machine IR pass pipeline. Hence, MBB numbers are not suitable and we need something else.
####Solution
We propose using fixed unique incremental MBB IDs for basic blocks instead of volatile MBB numbers. These IDs are assigned upon the creation of machine basic blocks. We modify `MachineFunction::CreateMachineBasicBlock` to assign the fixed ID to every newly created basic block. It assigns `MachineFunction::NextMBBID` to the MBB ID and then increments it, which ensures having unique IDs.

To ensure correct profile attribution, multiple equivalent compilations must generate the same Propeller IDs. This is guaranteed as long as the MachineFunction passes run in the same order. Since the `NextBBID` variable is scoped to `MachineFunction`, interleaving of codegen for different functions won't cause any inconsistencies.

The new encoding is generated under the new version number 2 and we keep backward-compatibility with older versions.

####Impact on Size of the `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` Section
Emitting the Propeller ID results in a 23% increase in the size of the `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` section for the clang binary.

Add a nop instruction if a section starts with landing pad for function splitter

This change adds a nop instruction if section starts with landing pad. This change is like [D73739](https://reviews.llvm.org/D73739) which avoids zero offset landing pad in basic block sections.

Detailed description:
The current machine functions splitter can create ˜sections which start with a landing pad themselves. This places landing pad at offset zero from LPStart.
```
.section .text.split.foo10,"ax",@progbits
foo10.cold: # %lpad
.cfi_startproc
.cfi_personality 3, __gxx_personality_v0
.cfi_lsda 3, .Lexception5
.cfi_def_cfa %rsp, 16
.Ltmp11: <--- This is a Landing pad and also LP Start as it is start of this section
movq %rax, %rdi <--- first instruction is at offest 0 from LPStart
callq _Unwind_Resume@PLT

```
This will cause landing pad entries to become zero (.Ltmp11-foo10.cold)
```
.Lcst_begin4:
.uleb128 .Ltmp9-.Lfunc_begin2 # >> Call Site 1 <<
.uleb128 .Ltmp10-.Ltmp9 # Call between .Ltmp9 and .Ltmp10
.uleb128 .Ltmp11-foo10.cold <---This is zero # jumps to .Ltmp11
.byte 3 # On action: 2
.uleb128 .Ltmp10-.Lfunc_begin2 # >> Call Site 2 <<
.uleb128 .Lfunc_end9-.Ltmp10 # Call between .Ltmp10 and .Lfunc_end9
.byte 0 # has no landing pad
.byte 0 # On action: cleanup
.p2align 2
```
The C++ ABI somehow assumes that no landing pads point directly to LPStart (which works in the normal case since the function begin is never a landing pad), and uses LP.offset = 0 to specify no landing pad. This change adds a nop instruction at start of such sections so that such a case could be avoided. Output:
```
.section .text.split.foo10,"ax",@progbits
foo10.cold: # %lpad
.cfi_startproc
.cfi_personality 3, __gxx_personality_v0
.cfi_lsda 3, .Lexception5
.cfi_def_cfa %rsp, 16
nop <--- new instruction that is added
.Ltmp11:
movq %rax, %rdi
callq _Unwind_Resume@PLT
```

[Propeller] Encode address offsets of basic blocks relative to the end of the previous basic blocks.

This is a resurrection of D106421 with the change that it keeps backward-compatibility. This means decoding the previous version of `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` will work. This is required as the profile mapping tool is not released with LLVM (AutoFDO). As suggested by @jhenderson we rename the original section type value to `SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP_V0` and assign a new value to the `SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` section type. The new encoding adds a version byte to each function entry to specify the encoding version for that function. This patch also adds a feature byte to be used with more flexibility in the future. An use-case example for the feature field is encoding multi-section functions more concisely using a different format.

Conceptually, the new encoding emits basic block offsets and sizes as label differences between each two consecutive basic block begin and end label. When decoding, offsets must be aggregated along with basic block sizes to calculate the final offsets of basic blocks relative to the function address.

This encoding uses smaller values compared to the existing one (offsets relative to function symbol).
Smaller values tend to occupy fewer bytes in ULEB128 encoding. As a result, we get about 17% total reduction in the size of the bb-address-map section (from about 11MB to 9MB for the clang PGO binary).
The extra two bytes (version and feature fields) incur a small 3% size overhead to the `LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP` section size.

[Propeller] Promote functions with propeller profiles to .text.hot.

Today, text section prefixes (none, .unlikely, .hot, and .unkown) are determined based on PGO profile. However, Propeller may deem a function hot when PGO doesn't. Besides, when `-Wl,-keep-text-section-prefix=true` Propeller cannot enforce a global section ordering as the linker can only reorder sections within each output section (.text, .text.hot, .text.unlikely).

This patch promotes all functions with Propeller profiles (functions listed in the basic-block-sections profile) to .text.hot. The feature is hidden behind the flag `--bbsections-guided-section-prefix` which defaults to `true`.

The new implementation refactors the parsing of basic block sections profile into a new `BasicBlockSectionsProfileReader` analysis pass. This allows us to use the information earlier in `CodeGenPrepare` in order to set the functions text prefix. `BasicBlockSectionsProfileReader` will be used both by `BasicBlockSections` pass and `CodeGenPrepare`.

Detect Source Drift with Propeller.

Source Drift happens when the sources are updated after profiling the binary
but before building the final optimized binary. If the source has changed since
the profiles were obtained, optimizing basic blocks might be sub-optimal. This
only applies to BasicBlockSection::List as it creates clusters of basic blocks
using basic block ids. Source drift can invalidate these groupings leading to
sub-optimal code generation with regards to performance.

PGO source drift for a particular function can be detected using function
metadata added in D95495.

When source drift is deected, disable basic block clusters by default
which can be re-enabled with -mllvm option
bbsections-detect-source-drift=false.

Exception support for basic block sections

This is part of the Propeller framework to do post link code layout optimizations. Please see the RFC here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/llvm-dev/ef3mKzAdJ7U/1shV64BYBAAJ and the detailed RFC doc here: https://github.com/google/llvm-propeller/blob/plo-dev/Propeller_RFC.pdf

This patch provides exception support for basic block sections by splitting the call-site table into call-site ranges corresponding to different basic block sections. Still all landing pads must reside in the same basic block section (which is guaranteed by the the core basic block section patch D73674 (ExceptionSection) ). Each call-site table will refer to the landing pad fragment by explicitly specifying @LPstart (which is omitted in the normal non-basic-block section case). All these call-site tables will share their action and type tables.

The C++ ABI somehow assumes that no landing pads point directly to LPStart (which works in the normal case since the function begin is never a landing pad), and uses LP.offset = 0 to specify no landing pad. In the case of basic block section where one section contains all the landing pads, the landing pad offset relative to LPStart could actually be zero. Thus, we avoid zero-offset landing pads by inserting a **nop** operation as the first non-CFI instruction in the exception section.

**Background on Exception Handling in C++ ABI**
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/blob/master/exceptions.pdf

Compiler emits an exception table for every function. When an exception is thrown, the stack unwinding library queries the unwind table (which includes the start and end of each function) to locate the exception table for that function.

The exception table includes a call site table for the function, which is used to guide the exception handling runtime to take the appropriate action upon an exception. Each call site record in this table is structured as follows:

| CallSite | --> Position of the call site (relative to the function entry)
| CallSite length | --> Length of the call site.
| Landing Pad | --> Position of the landing pad (relative to the landing pad fragment’s begin label)
| Action record offset | --> Position of the first action record

The call site records partition a function into different pieces and describe what action must be taken for each callsite. The callsite fields are relative to the start of the function (as captured in the unwind table).

The landing pad entry is a reference into the function and corresponds roughly to the catch block of a try/catch statement. When execution resumes at a landing pad, it receives an exception structure and a selector value corresponding to the type of the exception thrown, and executes similar to a switch-case statement. The landing pad field is relative to the beginning of the procedure fragment which includes all the landing pads (@LPStart). The C++ ABI requires all landing pads to be in the same fragment. Nonetheless, without basic block sections, @LPStart is the same as the function @Start (found in the unwind table) and can be omitted.

The action record offset is an index into the action table which includes information about which exception types are caught.

**C++ Exceptions with Basic Block Sections**
Basic block sections break the contiguity of a function fragment. Therefore, call sites must be specified relative to the beginning of the basic block section. Furthermore, the unwinding library should be able to find the corresponding callsites for each section. To do so, the .cfi_lsda directive for a section must point to the range of call-sites for that section.
This patch introduces a new **CallSiteRange** structure which specifies the range of call-sites which correspond to every section:

`struct CallSiteRange {
// Symbol marking the beginning of the precedure fragment.
MCSymbol *FragmentBeginLabel = nullptr;
// Symbol marking the end of the procedure fragment.
MCSymbol *FragmentEndLabel = nullptr;
// LSDA symbol for this call-site range.
MCSymbol *ExceptionLabel = nullptr;
// Index of the first call-site entry in the call-site table which
// belongs to this range.
size_t CallSiteBeginIdx = 0;
// Index just after the last call-site entry in the call-site table which
// belongs to this range.
size_t CallSiteEndIdx = 0;
// Whether this is the call-site range containing all the landing pads.
bool IsLPRange = false;
};`

With N basic-block-sections, the call-site table is partitioned into N call-site ranges.

Conceptually, we emit the call-site ranges for sections sequentially in the exception table as if each section has its own exception table. In the example below, two sections result in the two call site ranges (denoted by LSDA1 and LSDA2) placed next to each other. However, their call-sites will refer to records in the shared Action Table. We also emit the header fields (@LPStart and CallSite Table Length) for each call site range in order to place the call site ranges in separate LSDAs. We note that with -basic-block-sections, The CallSiteTableLength will not actually represent the length of the call site table, but rather the reference to the action table. Since the only purpose of this field is to locate the action table, correctness is guaranteed.

Finally, every call site range has one @LPStart pointer so the landing pads of each section must all reside in one section (not necessarily the same section). To make this easier, we decide to place all landing pads of the function in one section (hence the `IsLPRange` field in CallSiteRange).

| @LPStart | ---> Landing pad fragment ( LSDA1 points here)
| CallSite Table Length | ---> Used to find the action table.
| CallSites |
| … |
