1) Use a static array of pointer to retain the dummy vars.
2) Associate liveness of the array with that of the runtime hook variable
__llvm_profile_runtime.
3) Perform the runtime initialization through the runtime hook variable.
4) Preserve the runtime hook variable using the -u linker flag.

On Fuchsia, we always use the continuous mode with runtime counter
relocation, so there's no need for atexit hook or support for dumping
the profile manually.

Add support for continuously syncing profile counter updates to a file.
The motivation for this is that programs do not always exit cleanly. On
iOS, for example, programs are usually killed via a signal from the OS.
Running atexit() handlers after catching a signal is unreliable, so some
method for progressively writing out profile data is necessary.
The approach taken here is to mmap() the `__llvm_prf_cnts` section onto
a raw profile. To do this, the linker must page-align the counter and
data sections, and the runtime must ensure that counters are mapped to a
page-aligned offset within a raw profile.
Continuous mode is (for the moment) incompatible with the online merging
mode. This limitation is lifted in https://reviews.llvm.org/D69586.
Continuous mode is also (for the moment) incompatible with value
profiling, as I'm not sure whether there is interest in this and the
implementation may be tricky.
As I have not been able to test extensively on non-Darwin platforms,
only Darwin support is included for the moment. However, continuous mode
may "just work" without modification on Linux and some UNIX-likes. AIUI
the default value for the GNU linker's `--section-alignment` flag is set
to the page size on many systems. This appears to be true for LLD as
well, as its `no_nmagic` option is on by default. Continuous mode will
not "just work" on Fuchsia or Windows, as it's not possible to mmap() a
section on these platforms. There is a proposal to add a layer of
indirection to the profile instrumentation to support these platforms.

See https://reviews.llvm.org/D58620 for discussion.
Note how the comment in the file already said ".cpp" :)
