[InstrProfiling] If no value profiling, make data variable private and (for Windows) use one comdat

`__profd_*` variables are referenced by code only when value profiling is
enabled. If disabled (e.g. default -fprofile-instr-generate), the symbols just
waste space on ELF/Mach-O. We change the comdat symbol from `__profd_*` to
`__profc_*` because an internal symbol does not provide deduplication features
on COFF. The choice doesn't matter on ELF.

(In -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED_COVERAGE=on build, there is now no `__profd_*` symbols.)

On Windows this enables further optimization. We are no longer affected by the
link.exe limitation: an external symbol in IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_ASSOCIATIVE can
cause duplicate definition error.

We can thus use llvm.compiler.used instead of llvm.used like ELF (D97585).
This avoids many `/INCLUDE:` directives in `.drectve`.

Here is rnk's measurement for Chrome:
```
This reduced object file size of base_unittests.exe, compiled with coverage, optimizations, and gmlt debug info by 10%:

#BEFORE

$ find . -iname '*.obj' | xargs du -b | awk '{ sum += $1 } END { print sum}'
1047758867

$ du -cksh base_unittests.exe
82M     base_unittests.exe
82M     total

# AFTER

$ find . -iname '*.obj' | xargs du -b | awk '{ sum += $1 } END { print sum}'
937886499

$ du -cksh base_unittests.exe
78M     base_unittests.exe
78M     total
```
