[gcov] Set nounwind and respect module flags metadata "frame-pointer" & "uwtable" for synthesized functions

Summary

This applies the D100251 mechanism to the gcov instrumentation pass.

With this patch, -fno-omit-frame-pointer in
clang -fprofile-arcs -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointer will be respected for synthesized
__llvm_gcov_writeout,__llvm_gcov_reset,__llvm_gcov_init functions: the frame pointer
will be kept (note: on many targets -O1 eliminates the frame pointer by default).

clang -fno-exceptions -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fprofile-arcs will
produce .debug_frame instead of .eh_frame.

Fix: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/955

I think not all three functions need noinline, so I do not place noinline in the common function.

@void Do you know why noredzone is needed? Many other instrumentation passes don't set this attribute.

Thanks @MaskRay !

With KCOV (not GCOV) and LTO, we can and sometimes do inline the coverage runtime helper functions, FWIW.

It's been 8 years... Here's the commit where I added it

    Don't use a red zone for code coverage if the user specified `-mno-red-zone'.

    The `-mno-red-zone' flag wasn't being propagated to the functions that code
    coverage generates. This allowed some of them to use the red zone when that
    wasn't allowed.
