`StaticDataProfileInfo::getConstantSectionPrefix` is used twice in codegen ([1] and [2]) to emit section prefix for constants.

Before this patch, its implementation does analysis using PGO-counters, and PGO-counters are only available on module-internal constants.

After this patch, the PGO-counter analysis are extracted to a helper function, and returns enum rather than StringPrefix. This way, the follow up patch https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/163325 can extend this function to use global variable section prefix and compute a max (the hotter one).
