Reland "[Support]Look up in top-level subcommand as a fallback when looking options for a custom subcommand (#71981)

Fixed build bot errors. 

- Use `StackOption<std::string>` type for the top level option. This
way, a per test-case option is unregistered when destructor of
`StackOption` cleans up state for subsequent test cases.
- Repro the crash with no test sharding `/usr/bin/python3
/path/to/llvm-project/build/./bin/llvm-lit -vv --no-gtest-sharding -j128
/path/to/llvm-project/llvm/test/Unit`. The crash is gone with the fix
(same no-sharding repro)

**Original commit message:**
**Context:**

- In https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-June/101804.html and
commit
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/07670b3e984db32f291373fe12c392959f2aff67,
`cl::SubCommand` is introduced.
- Options that don't specify subcommand goes into a special 'top level'
subcommand.

**Motivating Use Case:**
- The motivating use case is to refactor `llvm-profdata` to use
`cl::SubCommand` to organize subcommands. See
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71328. A valid use case that's
not supported before this patch is shown below

```
  // show-option{1,2} are associated with 'show' subcommand.
  // top-level-option3 is in top-level subcomand (e.g., `profile-isfs` in SampleProfReader.cpp)
  llvm-profdata show --show-option1 --show-option2 --top-level-option3
```

- Before this patch, option handler look-up will fail with the following
error message "Unknown command line argument --top-level-option3".
- After this patch, option handler look-up will look up in sub-command
options first, and use top-level subcommand as a fallback, so
'top-level-option3' is parsed correctly.
