There are constraints on !pro branch_weights metadata
https://llvm.org/docs/BranchWeightMetadata.html

This patch is to check those constraints.
A light-weight version of this kind of verification I tried to propose in D60554 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60554>.

This patch is an in-progress-work:

- Currently, all tests pass with this verification but there are cases that fail if I artificially add more !prof branch_weights metadata to the tests. I will try fixing bugs that I found and creating new tests. I tried to fix those places at once by changing Instructions API (see D60554 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60554>, D60604 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60604> and D60606 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60606>) but proposed changes were not accepted. So I'm going to fix individual passes.
- The aforementioned lang ref needs to be fixed too. As I found in the tests, two more instructions may have !prof branch_weights: Invoke and Select. I'm not sure who should fix the documentation.
