[memprof] Add YAML-based deserialization for MemProf profile (#117829)

This patch adds YAML-based deserialization for MemProf profile.

It's been painful to write tests for MemProf passes because we do not
have a text format for the MemProf profile.  We would write a test
case in C++, run it for a binary MemProf profile, and then finally run
a test written in LLVM IR with the binary profile.

This patch paves the way toward YAML-based MemProf profile.
Specifically, it adds new class YAMLMemProfReader derived from
MemProfReader.  For now, it only adds a function to parse StringRef
pointing to YAML data.  Subseqeunt patches will wire it to
llvm-profdata and read from a file.

The field names are based on various printYAML functions in MemProf.h.
I'm not aiming for compatibility with the format used in printYAML,
but I don't see a point in changing the field names.
