[BOLT] Support split landing pad
We previously support split jump table, where some jump table entries target different fragments of same function. In this fix, we provide support for another type of intra-indirect transfer: landing pad. When C++ exception handling is used, compiler emits .gcc_except_table that describes the location of catch block (landing pad) for specific range that potentially invokes a throw(). Normally landing pads reside in the function, but with -fsplit-machine-functions, landing pads can be moved to another fragment. The intuition is, landing pads are rarely executed, so compiler can move them to .cold section. This update will mark all fragments that have landing pad to another fragment as non-simple, and later propagate non-simple to all related fragments. This update also includes one manual test case: split-landing-pad.s Reviewed By: Amir Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D128561
