167ce4489c InstrProf: Lower coverage mappings by setting their sections appropriately
Add handling for __llvm_coverage_mapping to the InstrProfiling
pass. We need to make sure the constant and any profile names it
refers to are in the correct sections, which is easier and cleaner to
do here where we have to know about profiling sections anyway.

This is really tricky to test without a frontend, so I'm committing
the test for the fix in clang. If anyone knows a good way to test this
within LLVM, please let me know.

Fixes PR22531.

70b0751080 InstrProf: An intrinsic and lowering for instrumentation based profiling
Introduce the ``llvm.instrprof_increment`` intrinsic and the
``-instrprof`` pass. These provide the infrastructure for writing
counters for profiling, as in clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate``.

The implementation of the instrprof pass is ported directly out of the
CodeGenPGO classes in clang, and with the followup in clang that rips
that code out to use these new intrinsics this ends up being NFC.

Doing the instrumentation this way opens some doors in terms of
improving the counter performance. For example, this will make it
simple to experiment with alternate lowering strategies, and allows us
to try handling profiling specially in some optimizations if we want
to.

Finally, this drastically simplifies the frontend and puts all of the
lowering logic in one place.
