[PGO][GlobalValue][LTO]In GlobalValues::getGlobalIdentifier, use semicolon as delimiter for local-linkage varibles. (#74008)

Commit fe051934 (phab D156569), IRPGO names uses format
`[<filepath>;]<linkage-name>` while prior format is
`[<filepath>:<mangled-name>`. The format change would break the use case
demonstrated in (updated)
`llvm/test/Transforms/PGOProfile/thinlto_indirect_call_promotion.ll` and
`compiler-rt/test/profile/instrprof-thinlto-indirect-call-promotion.cpp`

This patch changes `GlobalValues::getGlobalIdentifer` to use the
semicolon.

To elaborate on the scenario how things break without this PR
1. IRPGO raw profiles stores (compressed) IRPGO names of functions in
one section, and per-function profile data in another section. The
[NameRef](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/fc715e4cd942612a091097339841733757b53824/compiler-rt/include/profile/InstrProfData.inc#L72)
field in per-function profile data is the MD5 hash of IRPGO names.
2. When raw profiles are converted to indexed format profiles, the
profiled address is
[mapped](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/fc715e4cd942612a091097339841733757b53824/llvm/lib/ProfileData/InstrProf.cpp#L876-L885)
to the MD5 hash of the callee.
3. In `pgo-instr-use` thin-lto prelink pipeline, MD5 hash of IRPGO names
will be
[annotated](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/fc715e4cd942612a091097339841733757b53824/llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/PGOInstrumentation.cpp#L1707)
as value profiles, and used to import indirect-call-prom candidates. If
the annotated MD5 hash is computed from the new format while import uses
the prior format, the callee cannot be imported.

*`compiler-rt/test/profile/instrprof-thinlto-indirect-call-promotion.cpp`
is added to have an end-to-end test.
* `llvm/test/Transforms/PGOProfile/thinlto_indirect_call_promotion.ll`
is updated to have better test coverage from another aspect (as runtime
tests are more sensitive to the environment and may be skipped by some
contributors)
