Implement AOT static PGO (#2243)
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.

WAMR test benchmarks

This folder contains test benchmarks for wamr.

Build and Run

Refer to the README.md under each folder for how to build and run the benchmark.

Install llvm-profdata

The tool llvm-profdata is used when running the test_pgo.sh script under the benchmark folder. There are two ways to install it:

  1. Refer to https://apt.llvm.org/, e.g. in Ubuntu 20.04, add lines below to /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal main
# 15
deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-15 main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-15 main

Then run sudo apt update, sudo apt install llvm. And after installing:

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s llvm-profdata-15 llvm-profdata
  1. Build manually
git clone --depth 1 --branch release/15.x https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
cd llvm-project
mkdir build && cd build
