Not updating Itanium remapper should work for PGO counter matching until the next transition (details below); for consistency I just updated Itanium remapper's `extractName` to use semicolon.

The details
* For PGO counter matching, instr prof reader [asks](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/32ec5fbfed32f37aa070ee38e9b038bd84ca6479/llvm/lib/ProfileData/InstrProfReader.cpp#L1339) read remapper for a record. 
* Only with a remapping file provided (specified by `-fprofile-remapping-file`), a itanium remap reader is constructed. And when remapping file is not specified, a no-op remap reader is constructed. [source code](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/32ec5fbfed32f37aa070ee38e9b038bd84ca6479/llvm/lib/ProfileData/InstrProfReader.cpp#L1306-L1314) 
* When remapping file is specified, remap reader tries to extract the mangled name (removing `filename` prefix`) by finding a `:` (no longer used as delimiter for newer profiles) and remaps the mangled name. If `:` is not updated to `;`, the name is remapped to itself (irpgo func format) and profiles could still be found. However, not updating means remapping becomes no-op for local-linkage functions, which is fine after the transition complete but doesn't work for new transitions (if it happens..)
