This is a good idea; something that I brought up in initial code
review (on github).  Would it be ok with you to land the core first,
then follow up with this suggestion?

Also, AutoFDO production builds are so incredibly similar to PGO
builds that I could see a possible path forward:
1. land PGO upstream
2. adds docs for AutoFDO
3. consider a config for hardcoding the location of the profiling data
so that we don't need to specify it at the command line invocation of
make.
