Reland [CGData] llvm-cgdata #89884 using `Opt` instead of `cl`
- Action options are required, `--convert`, `--show`, `--merge`. This
was similar to sub-commands previously implemented, but having a prefix
`--`.
- `--format` option is added, which specifies `text` or `binary`.

The llvm-cgdata tool has been introduced to handle reading and writing
of codegen data. This data includes an optimistic codegen summary that
can be utilized to enhance subsequent codegen. Currently, the tool
supports saving and restoring the outlined hash tree, facilitating
machine function outlining across modules. Additional codegen summaries
can be incorporated into separate sections as required. This patch
primarily establishes basic support for the reader and writer, similar
to llvm-profdata.
The high-level operations of llvm-cgdata are as follows:
1. It reads local raw codegen data from a custom section (for example,
__llvm_outline) embedded in native binary files
2. It merges local raw codegen data into an indexed codegen data,
complete with a suitable header.
3. It handles reading and writing of the indexed codegen data into a
standalone file.
This depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/89792.
This is a patch for
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-enhanced-machine-outliner-part-2-thinlto-nolto/78753.
