Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang.

Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that
splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all
cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code
fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization.

MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.
