V2 [PATCH 3/3] Support the PGO build for binutils+gdb

Add the --enable-pgo-build[=lto] configure option.  When binutils+gdb
is not built together with GCC, --enable-pgo-build enables the PGO build:

1. First build with -fprofile-generate.
2. Use "make maybe-check-*" to generate profiling data and pass -i to make
to ignore errors when generating profiling data.
3. Use "make clean" to remove the previous build.
4. Rebuild with -fprofile-use.

Changes from V1:

1. Pass -ffat-lto-objects together with -flto=jobserver.
2. Pass -i to make to ignore "make check" errors in PGO training runs.

  GCC: Pass --plugin to AR and RANLIB
  Binutils: Pass --plugin to AR and RANLIB
  Support the PGO build for binutils+gdb
