Fix two issues for profile staleness report.
1) It should be more accurate to use the sum of all entry count(`getHeadSamplesEstimate`) for the callsite samples than the total samples, since even the top-level callsite is mismatched, it does affect the inlining but it can still be merged into base profile and used later.
2) I accidentally missed to persist the num of mismatched callsite into binary.
Also added the asm testing to test the decoding of the section.

With https://reviews.llvm.org/D136627, now we have the metrics for profile staleness based on profile statistics, monitoring the profile staleness in real-time can help user quickly identify performance issues. For a production scenario, the build is usually incremental and if we want the real-time metrics, we should store/cache all the old object's metrics somewhere and pull them in a post-build time. To make it more convenient, this patch add an option to persist them into the object binary, the metrics can be reported right away by decoding the binary rather than polling the previous stdout/stderrs from a cache system.
For implementation, it writes the statistics first into a new metadata section(llvm.stats) then encode into a special ELF `.llvm_stats` section. The section data is formatted as a list of key/value pair so that future statistics can be easily extended. This is also under a new switch(`-persist-profile-staleness`)
In terms of size overhead, the metrics are computed at module level, so the size overhead should be small, measured on one of our internal service, it costs less than < 1MB for a 10GB+ binary.

When a profile is stale and profile mismatch could happen, the mismatched samples are discarded, so we'd like to compute the mismatch metrics to quantify how stale the profile is, which will suggest user to refresh the profile if the number is high.
Two sets of metrics are introduced here:
- (Num_of_mismatched_funchash/Total_profiled_funchash), (Samples_of_mismached_func_hash / Samples_of_profiled_function) : Here it leverages the FunctionSamples's checksums attribute which is a feature of pseudo probe. When the source code CFG changes, the function checksums will be different, later sample loader will discard the whole functions' samples, this metrics can show the percentage of samples are discarded due to this.
- (Num_of_mismatched_callsite/Total_profiled_callsite), (Samples_of_mismached_callsite / Samples_of_profiled_callsite) : This shows how many mismatching for the callsite location as callsite location mismatch will affect the inlining which is highly correlated with the performance. It goes through all the callsite location in the IR and profile, use the call target name to match, report the num of samples in the profile that doesn't match a IR callsite.
This is implemented in a new class(SampleProfileMatcher) and under a switch("--report-profile-staleness"), we plan to extend it with a fuzzy profile matching feature in the future.

The name `getEntrySamples` was misleading for 2 reasons. One, it's
close in name to `Function::getEntryCount`, but the equivalent here is
`getHeadSamples`; second, as opposed to the other get* APIs in
`FunctionSamples`, it performs an estimate/heuristic rather than just
retrieving raw data (or a non-heuristic derivate off that data, like
`getMaxCountInside`)
The new name should more clearly communicate its intent; and, being
close (in name) to `getHeadSamples`, it should allow the reader discover
the relation between them.
Also updated the doc comments for both `getHeadSamples[Estimate]` so a
reader may better understand the relation between them.

This is the followup patch to https://reviews.llvm.org/D125246 for the `SampleContextTracker` part. Before the promotion and merging of the context is based on the SampleContext(the array of frame), this causes a lot of cost to the memory. This patch detaches the tracker from using the array ref instead to use the context trie itself. This can save a lot of memory usage and benefit both the compiler's CS inliner and llvm-profgen's pre-inliner.
One structure needs to be specially treated is the `FuncToCtxtProfiles`, this is used to get all the functionSamples for one function to do the merging and promoting. Before it search each functions' context and traverse the trie to get the node of the context. Now we don't have the context inside the profile, instead we directly use an auxiliary map `ProfileToNodeMap` for profile , it initialize to create the FunctionSamples to TrieNode relations and keep updating it during promoting and merging the node.
Moreover, I was expecting the results before and after remain the same, but I found that the order of FuncToCtxtProfiles matter and affect the results. This can happen on recursive context case, but the difference should be small. Now we don't have the context, so I just used a vector for the order, the result is still deterministic.
Measured on one huge size(12GB) profile from one of our internal service. The profile similarity difference is 99.999%, and the running time is improved by 3X(debug mode) and the memory is reduced from 170GB to 90GB.

More specifically, `ProfileIsPreInlined` is for any kind of profiles (flat or nested) that contain 'ShouldBeInlined' contexts.

2) for IR and sample profiling, llvm.expect intrinsics will always be

These invariants allow the checking to assume how the existing branch

The priority-based inliner currenlty uses block count combined with callee entry count to drive callsite inlining.
