A new function sorting algorithm (cdsort) in LLVM is an optimized
version of BOLT's hfsort+. In order to avoid code duplication and
simplify maintenance, getting rid of hfsort+.
Perf-wise this is likely a neutral change, though differences on
individual benchmarks are possible, since the generated function layout
has changed. I tested cdsort vs hfsort+ on a number of open-source and
prod binaries built in different modes and record an average neutral
perf difference, perhaps with more "green" counters.
