[Propeller] Promote functions with propeller profiles to .text.hot.

Today, text section prefixes (none, .unlikely, .hot, and .unkown) are determined based on PGO profile. However, Propeller may deem a function hot when PGO doesn't. Besides, when `-Wl,-keep-text-section-prefix=true` Propeller cannot enforce a global section ordering as the linker can only reorder sections within each output section (.text, .text.hot, .text.unlikely).

This patch promotes all functions with Propeller profiles (functions listed in the basic-block-sections profile) to .text.hot. The feature is hidden behind the flag `--bbsections-guided-section-prefix` which defaults to `true`.

The new implementation refactors the parsing of basic block sections profile into a new `BasicBlockSectionsProfileReader` analysis pass. This allows us to use the information earlier in `CodeGenPrepare` in order to set the functions text prefix. `BasicBlockSectionsProfileReader` will be used both by `BasicBlockSections` pass and `CodeGenPrepare`.
