function_name can be unconditionally deleted. It is not used by llvm-cov
gcov.  You'll need to delete a few assignments to gcov_info_free but you
can then unify the gcov_fn_info_dup and gcov_info_free implementations.

LG. On big-endian systems, clang < 11 emitted .gcno/.gcda files do not
work with llvm-cov gcov < 11.  To fix it and make .gcno/.gcda work with
gcc gcov I chose to break compatibility (and make all the breaking
changes like deleting some CC1 options) in a short window. At that time
I was not aware that there is the kernel implementation. Later on I was
CCed on a few https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/ gcov issues but
I forgot to mention the interface change.

Now in clang 11 onward, clang --coverage defaults to the gcov 4.8
compatible format. You can specify the CC1 option (internal option,
subject to change) -coverage-version to make it compatible with other
versions' gcov.

-Xclang -coverage-version='407*' => 4.7
-Xclang -coverage-version='704*' => 7.4
-Xclang -coverage-version='B02*' => 10.2 (('B'-'A')*10 = 10)
