sweet: add mode for PGO benchmarking

With -pgo, for each configuration sweet automatically runs an initial
profiling configuration. The merged profiles from these runs are used as
the PGO input to a ".pgo" variant of the configuration. Comparing the
base configuration to the ".pgo" variant indicates the effect of PGO.

At a lower level, the config format adds a "pgofiles" map, which can be
used to specify PGO profiles to use for each benchmark.

Ultimately this sets GOFLAGS=-pgo=/path in BuildEnv. Some benchmarks may
not currently properly plumb this into their build (e.g., the GoBuild
benchmarks don't build the compiler at all). Existing benchmarks need to
be double-checked that they actually get PGO enabled.

For golang/go#55022.
