Alex Lorenz 6c7a6a1ba2 llvm-cov: add code coverage tool that's based on coverage mapping format and clang's pgo.
This commit expands llvm-cov's functionality by adding support for a new code coverage
tool that uses LLVM's coverage mapping format and clang's instrumentation based profiling.
The gcov compatible tool can be invoked by supplying the 'gcov' command as the first argument,
or by modifying the tool's name to end with 'gcov'.

These inputs were pre-generated to allow for easier testing of llvm-cov.

The files used to test the gcov compatible code coverage tool were generated
using the following method:

  test.gcno and test.gcda were create by running clang:
    clang++ -g -ftest-coverage -fprofile-arcs test.cpp

  test.cpp.gcov was created by running gcov 4.2.1:
    gcov test.cpp

The 'covmapping' files that are used to test llvm-cov contain raw sections
with the coverage mapping data generated by the compiler and linker. They are
created by running clang and llvm-cov:
  clang++ -fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping -o test test.cpp
  llvm-cov convert-for-testing -o test.covmapping test

The 'profdata' files were generated by running an instrumented version of the
program and merging the raw profile data using llvm-profdata.
  ./test
  llvm-profdata merge -o test.profdata default.profraw
