Refactor MCPlusBuilder's create{Instruction}() functions that used to
return bool. We almost never check the return value as we rely on
llvm_unreachable() to detect unimplemented functionality. There were a
couple of cases that checked the return value, but they would hit the
unreachable condition first (at least in debug builds) before the return
value gets checked.
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.

Test Plan: NFC
On RISC-V, it's helpful to have access to `MCSubtargetInfo` while
generating instructions in `MCPlusBuilder`. For example, a return
instruction might be generated differently based on if the target
supports compressed instructions (`c.jr ra`) or not (`jalr ra`).
Reassigning the operand didn't update the operand type which resulted in an
assertion (`Assertion `isReg() && "This is not a register operand!"' failed.`)
Reset the instruction instead.
Test Plan:
```

PASS: BOLT-Unit :: Core/./CoreTests/X86/MCPlusBuilderTester.ReplaceRegWithImm/0 (90 of 136)

The aarch64 platform has special registers like X0_X1_X2_X3_X4_X5_X6_X7.
Using the downwards propagation this register will become a super
register for all X0..X7 and its super registers which is not right. This
patch replaces the downwards propagation with caching all the aliases using MCRegAliasIterator.
