The number of samples collected at the head of a function only make
sense for top-level functions (i.e., those actually called as opposed to
being inlined inside another).
Head samples essentially count the time spent inside the function's
prologue. This clearly doesn't make sense for inlined functions, so we
were always emitting 0 in those.

Binary encoded profiles used to encode all function names inline at
every reference. This is clearly suboptimal in terms of space. This
patch fixes this by adding a name table to the header of the file.

With this patch we can now read and write inline stacks in sample
profiles to the binary encoded profiles.
In a subsequent patch, I will add a string table to the binary encoding.
Right now function names are emitted as strings every time we find them.
This is too bloated and will produce large files in applications with
lots of inlining.

Summary:
This patch finishes up support for handling sampling profiles in both
text and binary formats. The new binary format uses uleb128 encoding to
represent numeric values. This makes profiles files about 25% smaller.
The profile writer class can write profiles in the existing text and the
new binary format. In subsequent patches, I will add the capability to
read (and perhaps write) profiles in the gcov format used by GCC.
Additionally, I will be adding support in llvm-profdata to manipulate
sampling profiles.
There was a bit of refactoring needed to separate some code that was in
the reader files, but is actually common to both the reader and writer.
The new test checks that reading the same profile encoded as text or
raw, produces the same results.
