Enable -ffunction-sections by default for the AutoFDO build. With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own section named .text.function_name instead of placing all functions in the .text section. In the AutoFDO build, this allows the linker to utilize profile information to reorganize functions for improved utilization of iCache and iTLB.
