[PGO] Add simplified branch weights for Objective-C for-collection loops.

Conceptually one of these loops is just a while-loop, but the actual code-gen
is more complicated. We don't instrument all the different control flow edges
to get accurate counts for each conditional branch, nor do I think it makes
sense to do so. Instead, make the simplifying assumption that the loop behaves
like a while-loop. Use the same branch weights for the first check for an
empty collection as would be used for the back-edge of a while loop, and use
that same weighting for the innermost loop, ignoring the possibility that there
may be some extra code to go fetch more elements.
