[MCA] Add support for nested and overlapping region markers

This patch fixes PR41523
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41523

Regions can now nest/overlap provided that they have different names.
Anonymous regions cannot overlap.

Region end markers must specify the region name. The only exception is for when
there is only one user-defined region; in that particular case, the region end
marker doesn't need to specify a name.

Incorrect region end markers are no longer ignored. Instead, the tool reports an
error and we exit with an error code.

Added test cases to verify the new diagnostic error messages.

Updated the llvm-mca docs to reflect this feature change.

[AsmPrinter] Remove hidden flag -print-schedule.

This patch removes hidden codegen flag -print-schedule effectively reverting the
logic originally committed as r300311
(https://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=300311).

Flag -print-schedule was originally introduced by r300311 to address PR32216
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32216). That bug was about adding "Better
testing of schedule model instruction latencies/throughputs".

These days, we can use llvm-mca to test scheduling models. So there is no longer
a need for flag -print-schedule in LLVM. The main use case for PR32216 is
now addressed by llvm-mca.
Flag -print-schedule is mainly used for debugging purposes, and it is only
actually used by x86 specific tests. We already have extensive (latency and
throughput) tests under "test/tools/llvm-mca" for X86 processor models. That
means, most (if not all) existing -print-schedule tests for X86 are redundant.

When flag -print-schedule was first added to LLVM, several files had to be
modified; a few APIs gained new arguments (see for example method
MCAsmStreamer::EmitInstruction), and MCSubtargetInfo/TargetSubtargetInfo gained
a couple of getSchedInfoStr() methods.

Method getSchedInfoStr() had to originally work for both MCInst and
MachineInstr. The original implmentation of getSchedInfoStr() introduced a
subtle layering violation (reported as PR37160 and then fixed/worked-around by
r330615).
In retrospect, that new API could have been designed more optimally. We can
always query MCSchedModel to get the latency and throughput. More importantly,
the "sched-info" string should not have been generated by the subtarget.
Note, r317782 fixed an issue where "print-schedule" didn't work very well in the
presence of inline assembly. That commit is also reverted by this change.

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.

[llvm-mca] Move the AssembleInput logic into its own class.

Summary:
This patch introduces a CodeRegionGenerator class which is responsible for parsing some type of input and creating a 'CodeRegions' instance for use by llvm-mca. In the future, we will also have a CodeRegionGenerator subclass for converting an input object file into CodeRegions. For now, we only have the subclass for converting input assembly into CodeRegions.

This is mostly a NFC patch, as the logic remains close to the original, but now encapsulated in its own class and moved outside of llvm-mca.cpp.
