George Wort 0e127bcef7 Make profile-guided optimization of builtins more configurable
Introduce get_hints.py and combine_hints.py in order to make
the interpretation of basic block counts into hints more
configurable and explicit, as well as allowing more accurate
and consistent methods of combining multiple profiles.

get_hints.py allows for the minimum count and threshold ratio
values to be easily altered for different profiles, while
combine_hints.py allows the hints produced from different
benchmarks and threshold values to be easily and sensibly
combined.

Simply summing together basic block counts from different
benchmarks could previously lead to a longer running benchmark
overshadowing multiple shorter benchmarks with conflicting
hints.

Allowing alteration of the current threshold values gives a
doubling of performance, while the new method of combining
distinct profiles can double the performance improvement of the
secondary benchmark while losing as little as 4% of the
improvement gained in the primary benchmark.
