FrameOptimizer pass runs by default on all targets, however, it defaults
to --frame-opt=none. This patch prevents the pass from running on
non-x86 targets when any other value (hot, full) is specified.
Make core BOLT functionality more friendly to being used as a
library instead of in our standalone driver llvm-bolt. To
accomplish this, we augment BinaryContext with journaling streams
that are to be used by most BOLT code whenever something needs to
be logged to the screen. Users of the library can decide if logs
should be printed to a file, no file or to the screen, as
before. To illustrate this, this patch adds a new option
`--log-file` that allows the user to redirect BOLT logging to a
file on disk or completely hide it by using
`--log-file=/dev/null`. Future BOLT code should now use
`BinaryContext::outs()` for printing important messages instead of
`llvm::outs()`. A new test log.test enforces this by verifying that
no strings are print to screen once the `--log-file` option is
used.
In previous patches we also added a new BOLTError class to report
common and fatal errors, so code shouldn't call exit(1) now. To
easily handle problems as before (by quitting with exit(1)),
callers can now use
`BinaryContext::logBOLTErrorsAndQuitOnFatal(Error)` whenever code
needs to deal with BOLT errors. To test this, we have fatal.s
that checks we are correctly quitting and printing a fatal error
to the screen.
Because this is a significant change by itself, not all code was
yet ported. Code from Profiler libs (DataAggregator and friends)
still print errors directly to screen.

As part of the effort to refactor old error handling code that
would directly call exit(1), in this patch continue the migration
on libCore, libRewrite and libPasses to use the new BOLTError
class whenever a failure occurs.

As part of the effort to refactor old error handling code that
would directly call exit(1), in this patch we change the
interface to `BinaryFunctionPass` to return an Error on
`runOnFunctions()`. This gives passes the ability to report a
serious problem to the caller (RewriteInstance class), so the
caller may decide how to best handle the exceptional situation.

Use llvm::reverse instead of `for (auto I = rbegin(), E = rend(); I != E; ++I)`

Add -experimental-shrink-wrapping flag to control when we
want to move callee-saved registers even when addresses of the stack
frame are captured and used in pointer arithmetic, making it more
challenging to do alias analysis to prove that we do not access
optimized stack positions. This alias analysis is not yet implemented,
hence, it is experimental. In practice, though, no compiler would emit
code to do pointer arithmetic to access a saved callee-saved register
unless there is a memory bug or we are failing to identify a
callee-saved reg, so I'm not sure how useful it would be to formally
prove that.

Add the option to run -equalize-bb-counts before shrink
wrapping to avoid unnecessarily optimizing some CFGs where profile is
inaccurate but we can prove two blocks have the same frequency.

Change how function score is calculated and provide more
detailed statistics when reporting back frame optimizer and shrink
wrapping results. In this new statistics, we provide dynamic coverage
numbers. The main metric for shrink wrapping is the number of executed
stores that were saved because of shrink wrapping (push instructions
that were either entirely moved away from the hot block or converted
to a stack adjustment instruction). There is still a number of reduced
load instructions (pop) that we are not counting at the moment. Also
update alloc combiner to report dynamic numbers, as well as frame
optimizer.
For debugging purposes, we also include a list of top 10 functions
optimized by shrink wrapping. These changes are aimed at better
understanding the impact of shrink wrapping in a given binary.
We also remove an assertion in dataflow analysis to do not choke on
empty functions (which makes no sense).

Summary:
Refactor bolt/*/Passes to follow the braces rule for if/else/loop from
[LLVM Coding Standards](https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html).
(cherry picked from FBD33344642)
Summary:
BinaryContext is available via BinaryFunction::getBinaryContext(),
hence there's no reason to pass both as arguments to a function.
In a similar fashion, BinaryBasicBlock has an access to BinaryFunction
via getFunction(). Eliminate unneeded arguments.

Summary:
Moves source files into separate components, and make explicit
component dependency on each other, so LLVM build system knows how to
build BOLT in BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON.
Please use the -c merge.renamelimit=230 git option when rebasing your
work on top of this change.
To achieve this, we create a new library to hold core IR files (most
classes beginning with Binary in their names), a new library to hold
Utils, some command line options shared across both RewriteInstance
and core IR files, a new library called Rewrite to hold most classes
concerned with running top-level functions coordinating the binary
rewriting process, and a new library called Profile to hold classes
dealing with profile reading and writing.
To remove the dependency from BinaryContext into X86-specific classes,
we do some refactoring on the BinaryContext constructor to receive a
reference to the specific backend directly from RewriteInstance. Then,
the dependency on X86 or AArch64-specific classes is transfered to the
Rewrite library. We can't have the Core library depend on targets
because targets depend on Core (which would create a cycle).
Files implementing the entry point of a tool are transferred to the
tools/ folder. All header files are transferred to the include/
folder. The src/ folder was renamed to lib/.
