As pointed out in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/undeterministic-thin-index-file/69985, the
block count added to distributed ThinLTO index files breaks incremental
builds on ThinLTO - if any linked file has a different number of BBs,
then the accumulated sum placed in the index files will change, causing
all ThinLTO backend compiles to be redone.
The block count is only used for scaling of partial sample profiles, and
was added in D80403 for D79831.
This patch simply removes this field from the index files of non partial
sample profile compiles, which is NFC on the output of the compiler.
We subsequently need to see if this can be removed for partial sample
profiles without signficant performance loss, or redesigned in a way
that does not destroy caching.

Adds support for the following flags:
* --thinlto-index-only, --thinlto-index-only=
* --thinlto-emit-imports-files
* --thinlto-emit-index-files
* --thinlto-object-suffix-replace=
* --thinlto-prefix-replace=
See https://blog.llvm.org/2016/06/thinlto-scalable-and-incremental-lto.html
for some words on --thinlto-index-only.
I don't really need the other flags, but they were in the vicinity
and _someone_ might need them, so I figured I'd add them too.
`-object_path_lto` now sets `c.AlwaysEmitRegularLTOObj` as in the other ports,
which means it can now only point to a filename for non-thin LTO.
I think that was the intent of D129705 anyways, so update
test/MachO/lto-object-path.ll to use a non-thin bitcode file for that test.
