Vedant Kumar c299006879 [HotColdSplitting] Identify larger cold regions using domtree queries
The current splitting algorithm works in three stages:

  1) Identify cold blocks, then
  2) Use forward/backward propagation to mark hot blocks, then
  3) Grow a SESE region of blocks *outside* of the set of hot blocks and
  start outlining.

While testing this pass on Apple internal frameworks I noticed that some
kinds of control flow (e.g. loops) are never outlined, even though they
unconditionally lead to / follow cold blocks. I noticed two other issues
related to how cold regions are identified:

  - An inconsistency can arise in the internal state of the hotness
  propagation stage, as a block may end up in both the ColdBlocks set
  and the HotBlocks set. Further inconsistencies can arise as these sets
  do not match what's in ProfileSummaryInfo.

  - It isn't necessary to limit outlining to single-exit regions.

This patch teaches the splitting algorithm to identify maximal cold
regions and outline them. A maximal cold region is defined as the set of
blocks post-dominated by a cold sink block, or dominated by that sink
block. This approach can successfully outline loops in the cold path. As
a side benefit, it maintains less internal state than the current
approach.

Due to a limitation in CodeExtractor, blocks within the maximal cold
region which aren't dominated by a single entry point (a so-called "max
ancestor") are filtered out.

Results:
  - X86 (LNT + -Os + externals): 134KB of TEXT were outlined compared to
  47KB pre-patch, or a ~3x improvement. Did not see a performance impact
  across two runs.
  - AArch64 (LNT + -Os + externals + Apple-internal benchmarks): 149KB
  of TEXT were outlined. Ditto re: performance impact.
  - Outlining results improve marginally in the internal frameworks I
  tested.

Follow-ups:
  - Outline more than once per function, outline large single basic
  blocks, & try to remove unconditional branches in outlined functions.
