Otherwise lprofGetHostName, used by the PGO generator, won't be available.
This means that PGO and coverage profiling would be restricted to systems with
uname, but that seems acceptable.

This commit migrates the in-tree `libcompiler_builtins` to the upstream version
at https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/compiler-builtins. The upstream version
has a number of intrinsics written in Rust and serves as an in-progress rewrite
of compiler-rt into Rust. Additionally it also contains all the existing
intrinsics defined in `libcompiler_builtins` for 128-bit integers.
It's been the intention since the beginning to make this transition but
previously it just lacked the manpower to get done. As this PR likely shows it
wasn't a trivial integration! Some highlight changes are:
* The PR rust-lang-nursery/compiler-builtins#166 contains a number of fixes
across platforms and also some refactorings to make the intrinsics easier to
read. The additional testing added there also fixed a number of integration
issues when pulling the repository into this tree.
* LTO with the compiler-builtins crate was fixed to link in the entire crate
after the LTO process as these intrinsics are excluded from LTO.
* Treatment of hidden symbols was updated as previously the
`#![compiler_builtins]` crate would mark all symbol *imports* as hidden
whereas it was only intended to mark *exports* as hidden.
When -Z profile is passed, the GCDAProfiling LLVM pass is added
to the pipeline, which uses debug information to instrument the IR.
After compiling with -Z profile, the $(OUT_DIR)/$(CRATE_NAME).gcno
file is created, containing initial profiling information.
After running the program built, the $(OUT_DIR)/$(CRATE_NAME).gcda
file is created, containing branch counters.
The created *.gcno and *.gcda files can be processed using
the "llvm-cov gcov" and "lcov" tools. The profiling data LLVM
generates does not faithfully follow the GCC's format for *.gcno
and *.gcda files, and so it will probably not work with other tools
(such as gcov itself) that consume these files.
