FYK d27a210a77 Add IR Profile-Guided Optimization (IR PGO) support to the Flang compiler (#136098)
This patch implements IR-based Profile-Guided Optimization support in
Flang through the following flags:

- `-fprofile-generate` for instrumentation-based profile generation

- `-fprofile-use=<dir>/file` for profile-guided optimization

Resolves #74216 (implements IR PGO support phase)

**Key changes:**

- Frontend flag handling aligned with Clang/GCC semantics

- Instrumentation hooks into LLVM PGO infrastructure

- LIT tests verifying:

    - Instrumentation metadata generation

    - Profile loading from specified path

    - Branch weight attribution (IR checks)

**Tests:**

- Added gcc-flag-compatibility.f90 test module verifying:

    -  Flag parsing boundary conditions

    -  IR-level profile annotation consistency

    -  Profile input path normalization rules

- SPEC2006 benchmark results will be shared in comments

For details on LLVM's PGO framework, refer to [Clang PGO
Documentation](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#profile-guided-optimization).

This implementation was developed by [XSCC Compiler
Team](https://github.com/orgs/OpenXiangShan/teams/xscc).
