Implement the segue optimization for LLVM AOT/JIT (#2230)
Segue is an optimization technology which uses x86 segment register to store
the WebAssembly linear memory base address, so as to remove most of the cost
of SFI (Software-based Fault Isolation) base addition and free up a general
purpose register, by this way it may:
- Improve the performance of JIT/AOT
- Reduce the footprint of JIT/AOT, the JIT/AOT code generated is smaller
- Reduce the compilation time of JIT/AOT

This PR uses the x86-64 GS segment register to apply the optimization, currently
it supports linux and linux-sgx platforms on x86-64 target. By default it is disabled,
developer can use the option below to enable it for wamrc and iwasm(with LLVM
JIT enabled):
```bash
wamrc --enable-segue=[<flags>] -o output_file wasm_file
iwasm --enable-segue=[<flags>] wasm_file [args...]
```
`flags` can be:
    i32.load, i64.load, f32.load, f64.load, v128.load,
    i32.store, i64.store, f32.store, f64.store, v128.store
Use comma to separate them, e.g. `--enable-segue=i32.load,i64.store`,
and `--enable-segue` means all flags are added.

Many thanks to Intel Labs, UC San Diego and UT Austin teams for introducing this
technology and the great support and guidance!

Introduction

Sightglass is a benchmarking suite and tooling to test WebAssembly applications.

Source: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/sightglass

Building

Please build iwasm and wamrc, refer to:

And install WASI SDK, please download the wasi-sdk release and extract the archive to default path /opt/wasi-sdk.

And then run ./build.sh to build the source code, the folder out will be created and files will be generated under it.

Running

Run ./run_aot.sh to test the benchmark, the native mode and iwasm aot mode will be tested for each workload, and the file report.txt will be generated.

Run ./run_interp.sh to test the benchmark, the native mode and iwasm interpreter mode will be tested for each workload, and the file report.txt will be generated.
