LOG: [Clang][CMake] Use IRPGO instead of FE PGO for Cmake Caches (#155957)

Currently the clang CMake caches use FE PGO for instrumentation
(LLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED=ON). However, IRPGO is generally regarded as
better for performance. I am measuring about a 1.5% performance gain
when building libLLVMSupport.a using this configuration versus what
existed before this commit. I would suspect the gains are larger on
other platforms like Windows where we cannot subsume any gains using
PLO.
