Most coverage metadata is encoded into two sections in the final executable.
The `__llvm_covmap` section mostly just contains a list of filenames, while the
`__llvm_covfun` section contains encoded coverage maps for each instrumented
function.
The catch is that each per-function record also needs to contain a hash of the
filenames list that it refers to. Historically this was handled by assembling
most of the per-function data into a temporary list, then assembling the
filenames buffer, then using the filenames hash to emit the per-function data,
and then finally emitting the filenames table itself.
However, now that we build the filenames table up-front (via a separate
traversal of the per-function data), we can hash and emit that part first, and
then emit each of the per-function records immediately after building. This
removes the awkwardness of having to temporarily store nearly-complete
per-function records.
