Enable AutoFDO.

This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.

AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2

Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.

The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository:
https://github.com/google/autofdo

Fixes #64892.
