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.
