[Frontend] Fix mcount inlining bug

Since some profiling tools, such as gprof, ftrace, and uftrace, use
-pg option to generate a mcount function call at the entry of each
function. Function invocation can be detected by this hook function.

But mcount insertion is done before function inlining phase in clang,
sometime a function that already has a mcount call can be inlined in the
middle of another function.

This patch adds an attribute "counting-function" to each function
rather than emitting the mcount call directly in frontend so that this
attribute can be processed in backend. Then the mcount calls can be
properly inserted in backend after all the other optimizations are
completed.
