        <pre>When building with the default XRay runtime, we're packaging all known
implementations that are part of the compiler-rt XRay runtime. While this is
convenient, there are environments where we might want to not actually link any
of these implementations due to a number of concerns (code size increase due to
unused modes, tighter control of dependencies that make it into binaries as
XRay evolves, etc.).

The suggestion is to add a clang flag `-fxray-modes=` which accepts a
comma-separated list of modes, and simultaneously add individual link targets
in compiler-rt's xray implementation to build different archives for those
modes. This effectively decouples the XRay modes into self-contained archives.

It also provides an additional means of distributing platform-specific or
custom modes that build upon the XRay framework.</pre>
