[CodeGen][X86] Fix lowering of tailcalls when `-ms-hotpatch` is used (#77245)

Previously, tail jump pseudo-opcodes were skipped by the
`encodeInstruction()` call inside `X86AsmPrinter::LowerPATCHABLE_OP`.
This caused emission of a 2-byte NOP and dropping of the tail jump.

With this PR, we change `PATCHABLE_OP` to not wrap the first
`MachineInstr` anymore, but inserting itself before,
leaving the instruction unaltered. At lowering time in `X86AsmPrinter`,
we now "look ahead" for the next non-pseudo `MachineInstr` and
lower+encode it, to inspect its size. If the size is below what
`PATCHABLE_OP` expects, it inserts NOPs; otherwise it does nothing. That
way, now the first `MachineInstr` is always lowered as usual even if
`"patchable-function"="prologue-short-redirect"` is used.

[CodeGen][X86] Crash fixes for "patchable-function" pass

This patch fixes crashes related with how PatchableFunction selects the instruction to make patchable:
- Ensure PatchableFunction skips all instructions that don't generate actual machine instructions.
- Handle the case where the first MachineBasicBlock is empty
- Removed support for 16 bit x86 architectures.

Note: another issue remains related with PatchableFunction, in the lowering part.

[AArch64] Add function attribute "patchable-function-entry" to add NOPs at function entry

The Linux kernel uses -fpatchable-function-entry to implement DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
for arm64 and parisc.

[AArch64] Add function attribute "patchable-function-entry" to add NOPs at function entry

The Linux kernel uses -fpatchable-function-entry to implement DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
for arm64 and parisc. GCC 8 implemented
-fpatchable-function-entry, which can be seen as a generalized form of
-mnop-mcount. The N,M form (function entry points before the Mth NOP) is
currently only used by parisc.

This patch adds N,0 support to AArch64 codegen. N is represented as the
function attribute "patchable-function-entry". We will use a different
function attribute for M, if we decide to implement it.

The patch reuses the existing patchable-function pass, and
TargetOpcode::PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTER which is currently used by XRay.

When the integrated assembler is used, __patchable_function_entries will
be created for each text section with the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag to prevent
--gc-sections (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93197) and
COMDAT (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93195) issues.

Retrospectively, __patchable_function_entries should use a PC-relative
relocation type to avoid the SHF_WRITE flag and dynamic relocations.

"patchable-function-entry"'s interaction with Branch Target
Identification is still unclear (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=92424 for GCC discussions).

[LLVM][Alignment] Make functions using log of alignment explicit

Summary:
This patch renames functions that takes or returns alignment as log2, this patch will help with the transition to llvm::Align.
The renaming makes it explicit that we deal with log(alignment) instead of a power of two alignment.
A few renames uncovered dubious assignments:

- `MirParser`/`MirPrinter` was expecting powers of two but `MachineFunction` and `MachineBasicBlock` were using deal with log2(align). This patch fixes it and updates the documentation.
- `MachineBlockPlacement` exposes two flags (`align-all-blocks` and `align-all-nofallthru-blocks`) supposedly interpreted as power of two alignments, internally these values are interpreted as log2(align). This patch updates the documentation,
- `MachineFunctionexposes` exposes `align-all-functions` also interpreted as power of two alignment, internally this value is interpreted as log2(align). This patch updates the documentation,

Update the file headers across all of the LLVM projects in the monorepo
to reflect the new license.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

[DebugInfo] Convert intrinsic llvm.dbg.label to MachineInstr.

In order to convert LLVM IR to MachineInstr, we need a new TargetOpcode,
DBG_LABEL, to ‘lower’ intrinsic llvm.dbg.label. The patch
creates this new TargetOpcode and convert intrinsic llvm.dbg.label to
MachineInstr through SelectionDAG.

In SelectionDAG, debug information is stored in SDDbgInfo. We create a
new data member of SDDbgInfo for labels and use the new data member,
SDDbgLabel, to create DBG_LABEL MachineInstr.

The new DBG_LABEL MachineInstr uses label metadata from LLVM IR as its
parameter. So, the backend could get metadata information of labels from
DBG_LABEL MachineInstr.

Sort the remaining #include lines in include/... and lib/....

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.

I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.

This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.

Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

[X86] Support the "ms-hotpatch" attribute.

Summary:
Based on two patches by Michael Mueller.

This is a target attribute that causes a function marked with it to be
emitted as "hotpatchable". This particular mechanism was originally
devised by Microsoft for patching their binaries (which they are
constantly updating to stay ahead of crackers, script kiddies, and other
ne'er-do-wells on the Internet), but is now commonly abused by Windows
programs to hook API functions.

This mechanism is target-specific. For x86, a two-byte no-op instruction
is emitted at the function's entry point; the entry point must be
immediately preceded by 64 (32-bit) or 128 (64-bit) bytes of padding.
This padding is where the patch code is written. The two byte no-op is
then overwritten with a short jump into this code. The no-op is usually
a `movl %edi, %edi` instruction; this is used as a magic value
indicating that this is a hotpatchable function.
