[AsmPrinter][ELF] Support profile-guided section prefix for jump tables' (read-only) data sections (#122215)

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/122183 adds a codegen pass to
infer machine jump table entry's hotness from the MBB hotness. This is a
follow-up PR to produce `.hot` and or `.unlikely` section prefix for
jump table's (read-only) data sections in the relocatable `.o` files.

When this patch is enabled, linker will see {`.rodata`, `.rodata.hot`,
`.rodata.unlikely`} in input sections. It can map `.rodata.hot` and
`.rodata` in the input sections to `.rodata.hot` in the executable, and
map `.rodata.unlikely` into `.rodata` with a pending extension to
`--keep-text-section-prefix` like
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/059e7cbb66a30ce35f3ee43197eed1a106b50c5b,
or with a linker script.

1. To partition hot and jump tables, the AsmPrinter pass slices a function's jump table indices into two groups, one for hot and the other for cold jump tables. It then emits hot jump tables into a `.hot`-prefixed data section and cold ones into a `.unlikely`-prefixed data section, retaining the relative order of `LJT<N>` labels within each group.

2. [ELF only] To have data sections with _dynamic_ names (e.g., `.rodata.hot[.func]`), we implement
`TargetLoweringObjectFile::getSectionForJumpTable` method that accepts a `MachineJumpTableEntry` parameter, and update `selectELFSectionForGlobal` to generate `.hot` or `.unlikely` based on
MJTE's hotness.
- The dynamic JT section name doesn't depend on `-ffunction-section=true` or `-funique-section-names=true`, even though it leverages the similar underlying mechanism to have a MCSection with on-demand name as `-ffunction-section` does.

3. The new code path is off by default.
- Typically, `TargetOptions` conveys clang or LLVM tools' options to code generation passes. To follow the pattern, add option `EnableStaticDataPartitioning` bit in `TargetOptions` and make it
readable through `TargetMachine`.
- To enable the new code path in tools like `llc`, `partition-static-data-sections` option is introduced in
`CodeGen/CommandFlags.h/cpp`.
- A subsequent patch
([draft](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/8f36a1374365862b3ca9be5615dd38f02a318c45)) will add a clang option to enable the new code path.

[CodeGen] Introduce Static Data Splitter pass (#122183)

https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-profile-guided-static-data-partitioning/83744
proposes to partition static data sections.

This patch introduces a codegen pass. This patch produces jump table
hotness in the in-memory states (machine jump table info and entries).
Target-lowering and asm-printer consume the states and produce `.hot`
section suffix. The follow up PR
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/122215 implements such
changes.
