Allow InvokeInst to have the second optional prof branch weight for
its unwind branch. InvokeInst is a terminator with two successors.
It might have its unwind branch taken many times. If so
the BranchProbabilityInfo unwind branch heuristic can be inaccurate.
This patch allows a higher accuracy calculated with both branch
weights set.
Changes:
- A new section about InvokeInst is added to
the BranchWeightMetadata page. It states the old information that
missed in the doc and adds new about the second branch weight.
- Verifier is changed to allow either 1 or 2 branch weights
for InvokeInst.
- A new test is written for BranchProbabilityInfo to demonstrate
the main improvement of the simple fix in calcMetadataWeights().
- Several new testcases are created for Inliner. Those check that
both weights are accounted for invoke instruction weight
calculation.
- PGOUseFunc::setBranchWeights() is fixed to be applicable to
InvokeInst.

Summary: For SamplePGO, the profile may contain cross-module inline stacks. As we need to make sure the profile annotation happens when all the hot inline stacks are expanded, we need to pass this info to the module importer so that it can import proper functions if necessary. This patch implemented this feature by emitting cross-module targets as part of function entry metadata. In the module-summary phase, the metadata is used to build call edges that points to functions need to be imported.

Summary:
This adds three Function methods to handle function entry counts:
setEntryCount() and getEntryCount().
Entry counts are stored under the MD_prof metadata node with the name
"function_entry_count". They are unsigned 64 bit values set by profilers
(instrumentation and sample profiler changes coming up).
Added documentation for new profile metadata and tests.

Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.
This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
