[Support]Look up in top-level subcommand as a fallback when looking o…
…ptions for a custom subcommand. (#71776) **Context:** - In https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-June/101804.html and commit 07670b3, `cl::SubCommand` is introduced. - Options that don't specify subcommand goes into a special 'top level' subcommand. **Motivating Use Case:** - The motivating use case is to refactor `llvm-profdata` to use `cl::SubCommand` to organize subcommands. See llvm/llvm-project#71328. A valid use case that's not supported before this patch is shown below ``` // show-option{1,2} are associated with 'show' subcommand. // top-level-option3 is in top-level subcomand (e.g., `profile-isfs` in SampleProfReader.cpp) llvm-profdata show --show-option1 --show-option2 --top-level-option3 ``` - Before this patch, option handler look-up will fail with the following error message "Unknown command line argument --top-level-option3". - After this patch, option handler look-up will look up in sub-command options first, and use top-level subcommand as a fallback, so 'top-level-option3' is parsed correctly.
