/// Implementation of Call-Chain Clustering from: Optimizing Function Placement
/// for Large-Scale Data-Center Applications
/// https://research.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cgo2017-hfsort-final1.pdf
///
/// The goal of this algorithm is to improve runtime performance of the final
/// executable by arranging code sections such that page table and i-cache
/// misses are minimized.
///
/// Definitions:
/// * Cluster
///   * An ordered list of input sections which are laid out as a unit. At the
///     beginning of the algorithm each input section has its own cluster and
///     the weight of the cluster is the sum of the weight of all incoming
///     edges.
/// * Call-Chain Clustering (C³) Heuristic
///   * Defines when and how clusters are combined. Pick the highest weighted
///     input section then add it to its most likely predecessor if it wouldn't
///     penalize it too much.
/// * Density
///   * The weight of the cluster divided by the size of the cluster. This is a
///     proxy for the amount of execution time spent per byte of the cluster.
///
/// It does so given a call graph profile by the following:
/// * Build a weighted call graph from the call graph profile
/// * Sort input sections by weight
/// * For each input section starting with the highest weight
///   * Find its most likely predecessor cluster
///   * Check if the combined cluster would be too large, or would have too low
///     a density.
///   * If not, then combine the clusters.
/// * Sort non-empty clusters by density
///
