Add the lld flags `--irpgo-profile-sort=<profile>` and
`--compression-sort={function,data,both}` to order functions to improve
startup time, and functions or data to improve compressed size,
respectively.
We use Balanced Partitioning to determine the best section order using
traces from IRPGO profiles (see
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-temporal-profiling-extension-for-irpgo/68068
for details) to improve startup time and using hashes of section
contents to improve compressed size.
In our recent LLVM talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd4pbSTjwuA),
we showed that this can reduce page faults during startup by 40% on a
large iOS app and we can reduce compressed size by 0.8-3%.
