LLVM PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) allows the compiler to better optimize code
for how it actually runs. This PR implements the AOT static PGO, and is tested on
Linux x86-64 and x86-32. The basic steps are:
1. Use `wamrc --enable-llvm-pgo -o <aot_file_of_pgo> <wasm_file>`
to generate an instrumented aot file.
2. Compile iwasm with `cmake -DWAMR_BUILD_STATIC_PGO=1` and run
`iwasm --gen-prof-file=<raw_profile_file> <aot_file_of_pgo>`
to generate the raw profile file.
3. Run `llvm-profdata merge -output=<profile_file> <raw_profile_file>`
to merge the raw profile file into the profile file.
4. Run `wamrc --use-prof-file=<profile_file> -o <aot_file> <wasm_file>`
to generate the optimized aot file.
5. Run the optimized aot_file: `iwasm <aot_file>`.
The test scripts are also added for each benchmark, run `test_pgo.sh` under
each benchmark's folder to test the AOT static pgo.
Add macro WASM_ENABLE_WORD_ALING_READ to enable reading
1/2/4 and n bytes data from vram buffer, which requires 4-byte addr
alignment reading.
Eliminate XIP AOT relocations related to the below ones:
i32_div_u, f32_min, f32_max, f32_ceil, f32_floor, f32_trunc, f32_rint
When calling native function from AOT code, current implementation is to return
back to runtime to call aot_invoke_native, which calls wasm_runtime_invoke_native
and the latter calls assembly code. We did it before as there may be pointer and
string arguments to check and convert if the native function's registered signature
has character '*' and '$'.
As the built-in native function's signatures can be gotten in compilation time, we
check the pointer/string arguments and convert them into native address in AOT
code, and then invoke the native function directly, so as to improve performance.
Fix some potential pointer overflows in aot applying relocations and
several other places.
And add sanitizer compiler flags to wamrc CMakeLists.txt to detect
such issues.
Enable LLVM link time optimization for AOT and enable it by default,
and provide "wamrc --disable-llvm-lto" option to disable it.
And modify the spec test script, disable it by default when testing
spec cases.

Implement XIP (Execution In Place) feature for AOT mode to enable running the AOT code inside AOT file directly, without memory mapping the executable memory for AOT code and applying relocations for text section. Developer can use wamrc with "--enable-indirect-mode --disable-llvm-intrinsics" flags to generate the AOT file and run iwasm with "--xip" flag. Known issues: there might still be some relocations in the text section which access the ".rodata" like sections.
And also enable ARC target support for both interpreter mode and AOT mode.
