[llvm-exegesis] Cleaner design without mutable data.

[gchatelet]

Summary

Previous design was relying on the 'mutate' keyword and was quite confusing. This version separate mutable from immutable data and makes it clearer what changes and what doesn't.

[gchatelet]

Removed dead code and fixed documentation.
