This patch implements IR-based Profile-Guided Optimization support in
Flang through the following flags:
- `-fprofile-generate` for instrumentation-based profile generation
- `-fprofile-use=<dir>/file` for profile-guided optimization
Resolves#74216 (implements IR PGO support phase)
**Key changes:**
- Frontend flag handling aligned with Clang/GCC semantics
- Instrumentation hooks into LLVM PGO infrastructure
- LIT tests verifying:
- Instrumentation metadata generation
- Profile loading from specified path
- Branch weight attribution (IR checks)
**Tests:**
- Added gcc-flag-compatibility.f90 test module verifying:
- Flag parsing boundary conditions
- IR-level profile annotation consistency
- Profile input path normalization rules
- SPEC2006 benchmark results will be shared in comments
For details on LLVM's PGO framework, refer to [Clang PGO
Documentation](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#profile-guided-optimization).
This implementation was developed by [XSCC Compiler
Team](https://github.com/orgs/OpenXiangShan/teams/xscc).

Hi,
AMD has it's own implementation of vector calls. This patch include the
changes to enable the use of AMD's math library using -fveclib=AMDLIBM.

-fveclib= allows users to choose a vectorized libm so that loops
containing math functions are vectorized.
This is implemented as much as possible in the same way as in clang. The
driver test in veclib.f90 is copied from the clang test.
