This change removes method Backend::getProcResourceMasks() and simplifies some
logic in the Views. This effectively removes yet another dependency between the
views and the Backend.
No functional change intended.

This allows the customization of the performance report.
Users can specify their own custom sequence of views.
Each view contributes a portion of the performance report generated by the
BackendPrinter.
Internally, class BackendPrinter keeps a sequence of views; views are printed
out in sequence when method 'printReport()' is called.
This patch addresses one of the two review comments from Clement in D43951.

llvm-mca is an LLVM based performance analysis tool that can be used to
statically measure the performance of code, and to help triage potential
problems with target scheduling models.
llvm-mca uses information which is already available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling
models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific cpu.
Performance is measured in terms of throughput as well as processor resource
consumption. The tool currently works for processors with an out-of-order
backend, for which there is a scheduling model available in LLVM.
The main goal of this tool is not just to predict the performance of the code
when run on the target, but also help with diagnosing potential performance
issues.
Given an assembly code sequence, llvm-mca estimates the IPC (instructions per
cycle), as well as hardware resources pressure. The analysis and reporting style
were mostly inspired by the IACA tool from Intel.
