https://github.com/aeubanks created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/74778

We'd like to make various instrprof globals large to make them not
contribute to relocation pressure since there are no direct accesses
to them in the module.

Similar to what was done for asan_globals in #74514.

This affects the __llvm_prf_vals, __llvm_prf_vnds, and __llvm_prf_names
sections.
