Implemented the `llvm-profdata overlap` feature for sample profiles. It reports weighted //similarity// and unweighted //overlap// metrics at program and function level for two input profiles. Similarity metrics are symmetric with regards to the order of two input profiles. By default, the tool only reports program-level summary. Users can look into function-level details via additional options `--function`, `--similarity-cutoff`, and `--value-cutoff`.
The similarity metrics are designed as follows:
* Program-level summary
* Whole program profile similarity is an aggregate over function-level similarity `FS`: `PS = sum(FS(A) * avg_weight(A))` for all function `A`.
* Whole program sample overlap: `PSO = common_samples / total_samples`.
* Function overlap: `FO = #common_function / #total_function`.
* Hot-function overlap: `HFO = #common_hot_function / #total_hot_function`.
* Hot-block overlap: `HBO = #common_hot_block / #total_hot_block`.
* Function-level details
* Function-level similarity is an aggregate over line/block-level similarities `BS` of all sample lines/blocks in the function, weighted by the closeness of the function's weights in two profiles: `FS = sum(BS(i)) * (1 - weight_distance(A))`.
* Function-level sample overlap: `FSO = common_samples / total_samples` for samples in the function.
