Hi,
this is first patch of two which aim to fix function partitioning issues where
we put basic blocks to cold sections while we should not.

This patch fixes issues where we think we have precise profile information but
we don't because we scaled it by some of named probability values.  It is nature
of these that we use them in contexts where we don't know precise outcome.
So I changed them all to guessed.  This prevents us from wrong function
splitting decisions.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, comitted.

	* profile-count.h (profile_probability::very_unlikely,
	profile_probability::unlikely, profile_probability::even): Set
	precision to guessed.
