[InstrProf][NFC] Do not assume size of counter type

Existing code tended to assume that counters had type `uint64_t` and
computed size from the number of counters. Fix this code to directly
compute the counters size in number of bytes where possible. When the
number of counters is needed, use `__llvm_profile_counter_entry_size()`
or `getCounterTypeSize()`. In a later diff these functions will depend
on the profile mode.

Change the meaning of `DataSize` and `CountersSize` to make them more clear.
* `DataSize` (`CountersSize`) - the size of the data (counter) section in bytes.
* `NumData` (`NumCounters`) - the number of data (counter) entries.

[llvm][profile] Add padding after binary IDs

Some tests with binary IDs would fail with error: no profile can be merged.
This is because raw profiles could have unaligned headers when emitting binary
IDs. This means padding should be emitted after binary IDs are emitted to
ensure everything else is aligned. This patch adds padding after each binary ID
to ensure the next binary ID size is 8-byte aligned. This also adds extra
checks to ensure we aren't reading corrupted data when printing binary IDs.

[profile] Only use NT_GNU_BUILD_ID if supported

The Solaris buildbots have been broken for some time by the unconditional
use of `NT_GNU_BUILD_ID`, e.g. Solaris/sparcv9
<https://lab.llvm.org/staging/#/builders/50/builds/4910> and Solaris/amd64
<https://lab.llvm.org/staging/#/builders/101/builds/3751>. Being a GNU
extension, it is not defined in `<sys/elf.h>`. However, providing a
fallback definition doesn't help because the code also relies on
`__ehdr_start`, another unportable GNU extension that most likely never
will be implemented in Solaris `ld`. Besides, there's reallly no point in
supporting build ids since they aren't used on Solaris at all.

This patch fixes this by making the relevant code conditional on the
definition of `NT_GNU_BUILD_ID`.

Tested on `amd64-pc-solaris2.11` and `sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11`.

[profile] Make {__start_,__stop_}__llvm_prf_* symbols undefined weak

To make a kind of metadata section usage work, we want to drop the
`__start_/__stop_ references retain C identifier name sections` rule from LLD (see D96914).

If an application has no `__llvm_prf_data` input section surviving --gc-sections,
LLD will error for undefined hidden `{__start_,__stop_}__llvm_prf_*` from `libclang_rt.profile-*`.
Other `__llvm_prf_*` sections have similar issues.

Making the references weak can address the problem.
This probably enables the opportunity to drop zero size dummy sections in `InstrProfilingPlatformLinux.c`.

D14468 added these dummy sections. This patch adds `__attribute__((used))` so
that when compiled by GCC>=11 or (expected, D96838) Clang>=13 on some ELF platforms,
these sections will get SHF_GNU_RETAIN to make sure they will not be discarded
by ld --gc-sections.

We are trying to get rid of LLD's "__start_/__stop_ references retain C identifier name sections" rule.
If LLD drops the rule in the future (we will retain compatibility for `__llvm_prf_*` for a while),
`__llvm_prf_*` will need to have the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag, otherwise:

[compiler-rt][profile] Fix various InstrProf tests on Solaris

Profile-i386 :: instrprof-merging.cpp
Profile-i386 :: instrprof-set-file-object-merging.c
Profile-i386 :: instrprof-set-file-object.c

On sparc there's also

Profile-sparc :: coverage_comments.cpp

The failure mode is always the same:

error: /var/llvm/local-amd64/projects/compiler-rt/test/profile/Profile-i386/Posix/Output/instrprof-visibility.cpp.tmp: Failed to load coverage: Malformed coverage data

The error is from `llvm/lib/ProfileData/Coverage/CoverageMappingReader.cpp`
(`loadBinaryFormat`), l.926:

InstrProfSymtab ProfileNames;
std::vector<SectionRef> NamesSectionRefs = *NamesSection;
if (NamesSectionRefs.size() != 1)
return make_error<CoverageMapError>(coveragemap_error::malformed);

where .size() is 2 instead.

Looking at the executable, I find (with `elfdump -c -N __llvm_prf_names`):

Section Header[15]: sh_name: __llvm_prf_names
sh_addr: 0x8053ca5 sh_flags: [ SHF_ALLOC ]
sh_size: 0x86 sh_type: [ SHT_PROGBITS ]
sh_offset: 0x3ca5 sh_entsize: 0
sh_link: 0 sh_info: 0
sh_addralign: 0x1

Section Header[31]: sh_name: __llvm_prf_names
sh_addr: 0x8069998 sh_flags: [ SHF_WRITE SHF_ALLOC ]
sh_size: 0 sh_type: [ SHT_PROGBITS ]
sh_offset: 0x9998 sh_entsize: 0
sh_link: 0 sh_info: 0
sh_addralign: 0x1

Unlike GNU `ld` (which primarily operates on section names) the Solaris
linker, following the ELF spirit, only merges input sections into an output
section if both section name and section flags match, so two separate
sections are maintained.

The read-write one comes from `lib/clang/12.0.0/lib/sunos/libclang_rt.profile-i386.a(InstrProfilingPlatformLinux.c.o)`
while the read-only one is generated by
`llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/InstrProfiling.cpp` (`InstrProfiling::emitNameData`)
at l.1004 where `isConstant = true`.

The easiest way to avoid the mismatch is to change the definition in
`compiler-rt/lib/profile/InstrProfilingPlatformLinux.c` to `const`.

This fixes all failures observed.

Tested on `amd64-pc-solaris2.11`, `sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11`, and
`x86_64-pc-linux-gnu`.

[InstrProfiling] Use !associated metadata for counters, data and values

The !associated metadata may be attached to a global object declaration
with a single argument that references another global object. This
metadata prevents discarding of the global object in linker GC unless
the referenced object is also discarded.

Furthermore, when a function symbol is discarded by the linker, setting
up !associated metadata allows linker to discard counters, data and
values associated with that function symbol. This is not possible today
because there's metadata to guide the linker. This approach is also used
by other instrumentations like sanitizers.

Note that !associated metadata is only supported by ELF, it does not have
any effect on non-ELF targets.

The motivating use case is eliminating duplicate profile data registered

links with LLD would succeed.

Users (Mozilla) have reported that PGO works well with clang-cl and LLD,
but when using LLD without this static registration, we would get into a
"relocation against a discarded section" situation. I'm not sure what
happens in that situation, but I suspect that duplicate, unused profile
information was retained. If so, this change will reduce the size of
such binaries with LLD.

Now, Windows uses static registration and is in line with all the other
platforms.
