more or less. It is definitely a hint that something is wrong if a hint is not used. We apply hints to all branch instructions, so if it is not used, we either missed it, or the referenced instruction does not exist (meaning an invalid compilation hint section).
However, since these hints are not mission-critical, I didn't want to assert that this is true.

Following #4460, I also implemented call targets hints in WAMR. Support in LLVM is tbd.
This also includes the generalization of our metadata parsing mechanism so that it'll be very easy to integrate new types of compilation metadata.
