Bisect tool: Pass/Transformation level bisection for bad item
This patch provides pass and transformation level bisection support for
existing bisection tool.
Usage: When `--pass_bisect=script_path` is set, pass/transformation
level bisection will be turned on. It only works when prune is set to
False. Orignial bisection will end with the first bad item it find. This
patch then will rebuild and bisect the bad item using bad compiler with
pass/transformation level bisect limit. It will end up with the bad pass
name/index and bad transformation index for that pass.
Notice that this patch still need support from LLVM with this review:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D50031, which allows debugcounter to print info
we need.
The patch eventally add a new binary search process, and two build
function to saparately build with pass and transformation level limit.
A new BinarySearcherForPass is also introduced for pass level bisect.
The workflow is:
1) get bad item and command to build it with existing bisection.
2) rebuild bad item with pass level limit to -1 to get total pass
count.
3) binary search pass index until we got bad pass.
4) rebuild bad item with pass limit we get and also set
transformation level limit to -1 to get total number of
transforamtion.
5) binary search transformation index until we got bad
transformation.

TEST=Ran test successfully with Android compiler wrapper. Will add
unittests once new patch in LLVM applied.
