Introduce get_hints.py and combine_hints.py in order to make the interpretation of basic block counts into hints more configurable and explicit, as well as allowing more accurate and consistent methods of combining multiple profiles. get_hints.py allows for the minimum count and threshold ratio values to be easily altered for different profiles, while combine_hints.py allows the hints produced from different benchmarks and threshold values to be easily and sensibly combined. Simply summing together basic block counts from different benchmarks could previously lead to a longer running benchmark overshadowing multiple shorter benchmarks with conflicting hints. Allowing alteration of the current threshold values gives a doubling of performance, while the new method of combining distinct profiles can double the performance improvement of the secondary benchmark while losing as little as 4% of the improvement gained in the primary benchmark.
