Summary:
This patch finishes up support for handling sampling profiles in both
text and binary formats. The new binary format uses uleb128 encoding to
represent numeric values. This makes profiles files about 25% smaller.
The profile writer class can write profiles in the existing text and the
new binary format. In subsequent patches, I will add the capability to
read (and perhaps write) profiles in the gcov format used by GCC.
Additionally, I will be adding support in llvm-profdata to manipulate
sampling profiles.
There was a bit of refactoring needed to separate some code that was in
the reader files, but is actually common to both the reader and writer.
The new test checks that reading the same profile encoded as text or
raw, produces the same results.

Summary:
This patch moves the profile reading logic out of the Sample Profile
transformation into a generic profile reader facility in
lib/ProfileData.
The intent is to use this new reader to implement a sample profile
reader/writer that can be used to convert sample profiles from external
sources into LLVM.
This first patch introduces no functional changes. It moves the profile
reading code from lib/Transforms/SampleProfile.cpp into
lib/ProfileData/SampleProfReader.cpp.
In subsequent patches I will:
- Add a bitcode format for sample profiles to allow for more efficient
encoding of the profile.
- Add a writer for both text and bitcode format profiles.
- Add a 'convert' command to llvm-profdata to be able to convert between
the two (and serve as entry point for other sample profile formats).

This patch implements the data structures, the reader and
the writers for the new code coverage mapping system.
The new code coverage mapping system uses the instrumentation
based profiling to provide code coverage analysis.

This isn't a format we'll want to write out in practice, but moving it
to the writer library simplifies llvm-profdata and isolates it from
further changes to the format.
This also allows us to update the tests to not rely on the text output
format.

This introduces the ProfileData library and updates llvm-profdata to
use this library for reading profiles. InstrProfReader is an abstract
base class that will be subclassed for both the raw instrprof data
from compiler-rt and the efficient instrprof format that will be used
for PGO.
