Yi Kong 2f5f16d574 Tweak ThinLTO inling heuristics in absense of PGO profile
We previously disabled inlining and unrolling completely during ThinLTO
in absense of PGO profile. For global ThinLTO, we want to better balance
binary size and performance.

We evaluated a number of combination of heuristics with global ThinLTO
configuration:
                                binary size change
  no LTO                          baseline
  no inline, no unroll            -0.54%
  no inline, unroll               -0.50%
  import-instr-limit=5, unroll    +0.02%
  import-instr-limit=10, unroll   +0.13%

Loop unrolling does not contribute much to the binary size, therefore
it is re-enabled.

import-instr-limit=5 balances the binary size savings from ThinLTO and
size incrase due to additional optimisation.

// LTO (link-time optimization) allows the compiler to optimize and generate
// code for the entire module at link time, rather than per-compilation
// unit. LTO is required for Clang CFI and other whole-program optimization
// techniques. LTO also allows cross-compilation unit optimizations that should
// result in faster and smaller code, at the expense of additional compilation
// time.
//
// To properly build a module with LTO, the module and all recursive static
// dependencies should be compiled with -flto which directs the compiler to emit
// bitcode rather than native object files. These bitcode files are then passed
// by the linker to the LLVM plugin for compilation at link time. Static
// dependencies not built as bitcode will still function correctly but cannot be
// optimized at link time and may not be compatible with features that require
// LTO, such as CFI.
//
// This file adds support to soong to automatically propogate LTO options to a
// new variant of all static dependencies for each module with LTO enabled.
