[PGO] Change hardcoded thresholds for cold/inlinehint to use summary
ClosedPublic

Summary

The PGO counter reading will add cold and inlinehint (hot) attributes
to functions that are very cold or hot. This was using hardcoded
thresholds, instead of the profile summary cutoffs which are used in
other hot/cold detection and are more dynamic and adaptable. Switch
to using the summary-based cold/hot detection.

The hardcoded limits were causing some code that had a medium level of
hotness (per the summary) to be incorrectly marked with a cold
attribute, blocking inlining.

I forgot to add the checking of the attribute, updating shortly.

Fix test and actually check the attributes

Conceptually, this should be set even earlier before getAnalysis at line 1754 below.

I'm not sure what you mean - we can't do so until we create the IndexedInstrProfReader which is just above here, since that reads the header and therefore the summary. Or do you mean that the IndexedInstrProfReader should be created before we call getAnalysis? That would take more restructuring.
