By storing possible test vectors instead of combinations of conditions,
the restriction is dramatically relaxed.
This introduces two options to `cc1`:
* `-fmcdc-max-conditions=32767`
* `-fmcdc-max-test-vectors=2147483646`
This change makes coverage mapping, profraw, and profdata incompatible
with Clang-18.
- Bitmap semantics changed. It is incompatible with previous format.
- `BitmapIdx` in `Decision` points to the end of the bitmap.
- Bitmap is packed per function.
- `llvm-cov` can understand `profdata` generated by `llvm-profdata-18`.

`llvm-cov convert-for-testing` only functions properly when the input binary contains a single source file. When the binary has multiple source files, a `Malformed coverage data` error will occur when the generated .covmapping is read back. This is because the testing format lacks support for indicating the size of its file records, and current implementation just assumes there's only one record in it. This patch fixes this problem by introducing a new testing format version.
Changes to the code:
- Add a new format version. The version number is stored in the the last 8 bytes of the orignial magic number field to be backward-compatible.
- Output a LEB128 number before the file records section to indicate its size in the new version.
- Change the format parsing code correspondingly.
- Update the document to formalize the testing format.
- Additionally, fix the bug when converting COFF binaries.

We currently always store absolute filenames in coverage mapping. This
is problematic for several reasons. It poses a problem for distributed
compilation as source location might vary across machines. We are also
duplicating the path prefix potentially wasting space.
This change modifies how we store filenames in coverage mapping. Rather
than absolute paths, it stores the compilation directory and file paths
as given to the compiler, either relative or absolute. Later when
reading the coverage mapping information, we recombine relative paths
with the working directory. This approach is similar to handling
ofDW_AT_comp_dir in DWARF.
Finally, we also provide a new option, -fprofile-compilation-dir akin
to -fdebug-compilation-dir which can be used to manually override the
compilation directory which is useful in distributed compilation cases.

This is an enhancement to LLVM Source-Based Code Coverage in clang to track how
many times individual branch-generating conditions are taken (evaluate to TRUE)
and not taken (evaluate to FALSE). Individual conditions may comprise larger
boolean expressions using boolean logical operators. This functionality is
very similar to what is supported by GCOV except that it is very closely
anchored to the ASTs.

Revise the coverage mapping format to reduce binary size by:
1. Naming function records and marking them `linkonce_odr`, and
2. Compressing filenames.
This shrinks the size of llc's coverage segment by 82% (334MB -> 62MB)
and speeds up end-to-end single-threaded report generation by 10%. For
reference the compressed name data in llc is 81MB (__llvm_prf_names).
Rationale for changes to the format:
- With the current format, most coverage function records are discarded.
E.g., more than 97% of the records in llc are *duplicate* placeholders
for functions visible-but-not-used in TUs. Placeholders *are* used to
show under-covered functions, but duplicate placeholders waste space.
- We reached general consensus about giving (1) a try at the 2017 code
coverage BoF [1]. The thinking was that using `linkonce_odr` to merge
duplicates is simpler than alternatives like teaching build systems
about a coverage-aware database/module/etc on the side.
- Revising the format is expensive due to the backwards compatibility
requirement, so we might as well compress filenames while we're at it.
This shrinks the encoded filenames in llc by 86% (12MB -> 1.6MB).
See CoverageMappingFormat.rst for the details on what exactly has
changed.
Fixes PR34533 [2], hopefully.

After clang started emitting deferred regions (r312818), llvm-cov has
had a hard time picking reasonable line execuction counts. There have
been one or two generic improvements in this area (e.g r310012), but
line counts can still report coverage for whitespace instead of code
(llvm.org/PR34612).
To fix the problem:
* Introduce a new region kind so that frontends can explicitly label
gap areas.
This is done by changing the encoding of the columnEnd field of
MappingRegion. This doesn't substantially increase binary size, and
makes it easy to maintain backwards-compatibility.
* Don't set the line count to a count from a gap area, unless the count
comes from a wrapped segment.
* Don't highlight gap areas as uncovered.
Fixes llvm.org/PR34612.
