When linkage name isn't available in dwarf (ususally the case of C code), looking up callee samples should be based on the dwarf name instead of using an empty string.
Also fixing a test issue where using empty string to look up callee samples accidentally returns the correct samples because it is treated as indirect call.

turning off SampleFDO silently.
Currently sample loader pass turns off SampleFDO optimization silently when
it sees error in reading the profile. This behavior will defeat the tests
which could have caught those bad/incompatible profile problems. This patch
change the behavior to report error.

MD5 is used.
Currently during sample profile loading, NameTable has to be loaded entirely
up front before any name string is retrieved. That is because NameTable is
stored using ULEB128 encoding and cannot be directly accessed like an array.
However, if MD5 is used to represent name in the NameTable, it has fixed
length. If MD5 names are stored in uint64_t type instead of ULEB128, NameTable
can be accessed like an array then in many cases only part of the NameTable
has to be read. This is helpful for reducing compile time especially when
small source file is compiled. We find that after this change, the elapsed
time to build a large application distributively is reduced by 5% and the
accumulative cpu time used for building is also reduced by 5%. The size of
the profile is slightly reduced with this change by ~0.2%, and that also
indicates encoding MD5 in ULEB128 doesn't save the storage space.

CallInst::updateProfWeight() creates branch_weights with i64 instead of i32.
To be more consistent everywhere and remove lots of casts from uint64_t
to uint32_t, use i64 for branch_weights.

When sampleFDO is enabled, people may expect they can use
-fno-profile-sample-use to opt-out using sample profile for a certain file.
That could be either for debugging purpose or for performance tuning purpose.
However, when thinlto is enabled, if a function in file A compiled with
-fno-profile-sample-use is imported to another file B compiled with
-fprofile-sample-use, the inlined copy of the function in file B may still
get its profile annotated.
The inconsistency may even introduce profile unused warning because if the
target is not compiled with explicit debug information flag, the function
in file A won't have its debug information enabled (debug information will
be enabled implicitly only when -fprofile-sample-use is used). After it is
imported into file B which is compiled with -fprofile-sample-use, profile
annotation for the outline copy of the function will fail because the
function has no debug information, and that will trigger profile unused
warning.
We add a new attribute use-sample-profile to control whether a function
will use its sample profile no matter for its outline or inline copies.
That will make the behavior of -fno-profile-sample-use consistent.

Compbinary format uses MD5 to represent strings in name table. That gives smaller profile without the need of compression/decompression when writing/reading the profile. The patch adds the support in extbinary format. It is off by default but user can choose to enable it.
Note the feature of using MD5 in name table can bring very small chance of name conflict leading to profile mismatch. Besides, profile using the feature won't have the profile remapping support.

This is a patch split from https://reviews.llvm.org/D66374. It tries to add
a new format of profile called ExtBinary. The format adds a section header
table to the profile and organize the profile in sections, so the future
extension like adding a new section or extending an existing section will be
easier while keeping backward compatiblity feasible.
