This reverts commit aae8524bcc26cf04729f2bbc02ecb54233a587e4, which was
found to cause a few unexpected benchmark performance differences that
need investigation.
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.
This was only used for partial sample profiles, and was therefore
removed for other cases (3adc6e03080c6d38a51f5c5b6744b7c0d9c7541b).
Subsequent testing did not show a performance effect of disabling this
feature even for partial sample profiles. Therefore, switch the default
to false. If this does not cause a noticeable performance degradation
after the default flip, we can remove this support completely.

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.
