Overhaul the TargetMachine and LLVMTargetMachine Classes (#111234)

Following discussions in #110443, and the following earlier discussions
in https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-October/117907.html,
https://reviews.llvm.org/D38482, https://reviews.llvm.org/D38489, this
PR attempts to overhaul the `TargetMachine` and `LLVMTargetMachine`
interface classes. More specifically:
1. Makes `TargetMachine` the only class implemented under
`TargetMachine.h` in the `Target` library.
2. `TargetMachine` contains target-specific interface functions that
relate to IR/CodeGen/MC constructs, whereas before (at least on paper)
it was supposed to have only IR/MC constructs. Any Target that doesn't
want to use the independent code generator simply does not implement
them, and returns either `false` or `nullptr`.
3. Renames `LLVMTargetMachine` to `CodeGenCommonTMImpl`. This renaming
aims to make the purpose of `LLVMTargetMachine` clearer. Its interface
was moved under the CodeGen library, to further emphasis its usage in
Targets that use CodeGen directly.
4. Makes `TargetMachine` the only interface used across LLVM and its
projects. With these changes, `CodeGenCommonTMImpl` is simply a set of
shared function implementations of `TargetMachine`, and CodeGen users
don't need to static cast to `LLVMTargetMachine` every time they need a
CodeGen-specific feature of the `TargetMachine`.
5. More importantly, does not change any requirements regarding library
linking.

[CGData][MachineOutliner] Global Outlining (#90074)

This commit introduces support for outlining functions across modules
using codegen data generated from previous codegen. The codegen data
currently manages the outlined hash tree, which records outlining
instances that occurred locally in the past.

The machine outliner now operates in one of three modes:

1. CGDataMode::None: This is the default outliner mode that uses the
suffix tree to identify (local) outlining candidates within a module.
This mode is also used by (full)LTO to maintain optimal behavior with
the combined module.
2. CGDataMode::Write (`-codegen-data-generate`): This mode is identical
to the default mode, but it also publishes the stable hash sequences of
instructions in the outlined functions into a local outlined hash tree.
It then encodes this into the `__llvm_outline` section, which will be
dead-stripped at link time.
3. CGDataMode::Read (`-codegen-data-use-path={.cgdata}`): This mode
reads a codegen data file (.cgdata) and initializes a global outlined
hash tree. This tree is used to generate global outlining candidates.
Note that the codegen data file has been post-processed with the raw
`__llvm_outline` sections from all native objects using the
`llvm-cgdata` tool (or a linker, `LLD`, or a new ThinLTO pipeline
later).

This depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/105398. After
this PR, LLD (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/90166) and Clang
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/90304) will follow for each
client side support.
This is a patch for
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-enhanced-machine-outliner-part-2-thinlto-nolto/78753.

[StableHash] Implement stable global name for the hash computation (#106156)

LLVM often extends global names by adding suffixes to distinguish unique
identities. However, these suffixes are not always stable across
different runs and build environments. To address this issue, I
implemented `get_stable_name` to ignore such suffixes and obtain the
original name. This approach is not new, as PGO or Bolt already handle
this issue similarly. Using the stable name obtained from
`get_stable_name`, I implemented `stable_hash_name` while utilizing the
same underlying `xxh3_64bit` algorithm as before.
