Summary: Prior to this change, LLVM would in some cases emit *massive* writeout functions with many 10s of 1000s of function calls in straight-line code. This is a very wasteful way to represent what are fundamentally loops and creates a number of scalability issues. Among other things, register allocating these calls is extremely expensive. While D46127 makes this less severe, we'll still run into scaling issues with this eventually. If not in the compile time, just from the code size. Now the pass builds up global data structures modeling the inputs to these functions, and simply loops over the data structures calling the relevant functions with those values. This ensures that the code size is a fixed and only data size grows with larger amounts of coverage data. A trivial change to IRBuilder is included to make it easier to build the constants that make up the global data.
