[llvm-profdata] Support JSON as as an output-only format
This patch teaches llvm-profdata to output the sample profile in the JSON format. The new option is intended to be used for research and development purposes. For example, one can write a Python script to take a JSON file and analyze how similar different inline instances of a given function are to each other. I've chosen JSON because Python can parse it reasonably fast, and it just takes a couple of lines to read the whole data: import json with open ('profile.json') as f: profile = json.load(f) Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D130944
