BlockFrequencyInfo calculates block frequencies as Scaled64 numbers but as a last step converts them to unsigned 64bit integers (`BlockFrequency`). This improves the factors picked for this conversion so that:
* Avoid big numbers close to UINT64_MAX to avoid users overflowing/saturating when adding multiply frequencies together or when multiplying with integers. This leaves the topmost 10 bits unused to allow for some room.
* Spread the difference between hottest/coldest block as much as possible to increase precision.
* If the hot/cold spread cannot be represented loose precision at the lower end, but keep the frequencies at the upper end for hot blocks differentiable.
Thinlink provides an opportunity to propagate function attributes across modules, enabling additional propagation opportunities.
This change propagates (currently default off, turn on with `disable-thinlto-funcattrs=1`) noRecurse and noUnwind based off of function summaries of the prevailing functions in bottom-up call-graph order. Testing on clang self-build:
1. There's a 35-40% increase in noUnwind functions due to the additional propagation opportunities.
2. Throughput is measured at 10-15% increase in thinlink time which itself is 1.5% of E2E link time.
Implementation-wise this adds the following summary function attributes:
1. noUnwind: function is noUnwind
2. mayThrow: function contains a non-call instruction that `Instruction::mayThrow` returns true on (e.g. windows SEH instructions)
3. hasUnknownCall: function contains calls that don't make it into the summary call-graph thus should not be propagated from (e.g. indirect for now, could add no-opt functions as well)
Testing:
Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

Summary:
This patch computes the synthetic function entry count on the whole
program callgraph (based on module summary) and writes the entry counts
to the summary. After function importing, this count gets attached to
the IR as metadata. Since it adds a new field to the summary, this bumps
up the version.
