Modify AOT static PGO to conform to llvm-18 and add a CI job to test static PGO on the coremark benchmark (#4345)

* static PGO compatible with llvm18 and add CI job to test static PGO on coremark benchmark
* update comments and warning info, bitmaps section in llvm profdata shouldn't be used in PGO

 The tool `llvm-profdata` is used when running the `test_pgo.sh` script under the benchmark folder. There are two ways to install it:
 
 1. Refer to https://apt.llvm.org/, e.g. in Ubuntu 20.04, add lines below to /etc/apt/source.list
