Michael Benfield a17193dbb9 Enable AutoFDO.
This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.

AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2

Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.

The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository:
https://github.com/google/autofdo

Fixes #64892.

This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally
be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here.

NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never*
be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types
must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here.

Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in
the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an
int or anything to avoid confusion.

When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first
one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used
as an input.

All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
