This is groundwork for supporting multiple TCG contexts.
The naive solution here is to split code_gen_buffer statically
among the TCG threads; this however results in poor utilization
if translation needs are different across TCG threads.
What we do here is to add an extra layer of indirection, assigning
regions that act just like pages do in virtual memory allocation.
(BTW if you are wondering about the chosen naming, I did not want
to use blocks or pages because those are already heavily used in QEMU).
We use a global lock to serialize allocations as well as statistics
reporting (we now export the size of the used code_gen_buffer with
tcg_code_size()). Note that for the allocator we could just use
a counter and atomic_inc; however, that would complicate the gathering
of tcg_code_size()-like stats. So given that the region operations are
not a fast path, a lock seems the most reasonable choice.
The effectiveness of this approach is clear after seeing some numbers.
I used the bootup+shutdown of debian-arm with '-tb-size 80' as a benchmark.
Note that I'm evaluating this after enabling per-thread TCG (which
is done by a subsequent commit).

That is, 8 flushes.
* -smp 8, 32 regions (80/32 MB per region) [i.e. this patch]:

Again, 8 flushes. Note how buffer utilization is not 100%, but it
is close. Smaller region sizes would yield higher utilization,
but we want region allocation to be rare (it acquires a lock), so
we do not want to go too small.

qemu: flush code_size=37104248 nb_tbs=67609 avg_tb_size=364
That is, 20 flushes. Note how a static partitioning approach uses
the code buffer poorly, leading to many unnecessary flushes.

This is groundwork for supporting multiple TCG contexts.
To avoid scalability issues when profiling info is enabled, this patch
makes the profiling info counters distributed via the following changes:
1) Consolidate profile info into its own struct, TCGProfile, which
TCGContext also includes. Note that tcg_table_op_count is brought
into TCGProfile after dropping the tcg_ prefix.
2) Iterate over the TCG contexts in the system to obtain the total counts.
This change also requires updating the accessors to TCGProfile fields to
use atomic_read/set whenever there may be conflicting accesses (as defined
in C11) to them.

Since commit 6e3b2bfd6 ("tcg: allocate TB structs before the
corresponding translated code") we are not fully utilizing
code_gen_buffer for translated code, and therefore are
incorrectly reporting the amount of translated code as well as
the average host TB size. Address this by:
- Making the conscious choice of misreporting the total translated code;
doing otherwise would mislead users into thinking "-tb-size" is not
honoured.
- Expanding tb_tree_stats to accurately count the bytes of translated code on
the host, and using this for reporting the average tb host size,
as well as the expansion ratio.
In the future we might want to consider reporting the accurate numbers for
the total translated code, together with a "bookkeeping/overhead" field to
account for the TB structs.

This is a prerequisite for supporting multiple TCG contexts, since
we will have threads generating code in separate regions of
code_gen_buffer.
For this we need a new field (.size) in struct tb_tc to keep
track of the size of the translated code. This field uses a size_t
to avoid adding a hole to the struct, although really an unsigned
int would have been enough.
The comparison function we use is optimized for the common case:
insertions. Profiling shows that upon booting debian-arm, 98%
of comparisons are between existing tb's (i.e. a->size and b->size
are both !0), which happens during insertions (and removals, but
those are rare). The remaining cases are lookups. From reading the glib
sources we see that the first key is always the lookup key. However,
the code does not assume this to always be the case because this
behaviour is not guaranteed in the glib docs. However, we embed
this knowledge in the code as a branch hint for the compiler.
Note that tb_free does not free space in the code_gen_buffer anymore,
since we cannot easily know whether the tb is the last one inserted
in code_gen_buffer. The next patch in this series renames tb_free
to tb_remove to reflect this.
Performance-wise, lookups in tb_find_pc are the same as before:
O(log n). However, insertions are O(log n) instead of O(1), which
results in a small slowdown when booting debian-arm:

Note that the remaining setters/getters of the field are protected

Luckily all readers access the field via 'tb->cflags' (so no foo.cflags,
bar->cflags in the code base), which makes the conversion easily
scriptable:
FILES=$(git grep 'tb->cflags' target include/exec/gen-icount.h \
