Store GUIDs in metadata

See https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-keep-globalvalue-guids-stable/84801
for context.

This takes the existing AssignGUID pass from CtxProfAnalysis, and runs
it by default, at the appropriate stages of the LTO pipeline. It also
changes GlobalValue::getGUID() to retrieve the GUID from the metadata
instead of computing it.

We don't yet have the supporting downstream changes to make a dedicated
GUID table in bitcode, nor do we use the metadata as part of ThinLTO --
it retains its existing mechanisms of recomputing GUIDs from separately
saved data. That will be changed later.
