    Improve PGO support for the new inliner · 12585b01

    This adds the following to the new PM based inliner in PGO mode:
    
    * Use block frequency analysis to derive callsite's profile count and use
    that to adjust thresholds of hot and cold callsites.
    
    * Incrementally update the BFI of the caller after a callee gets inlined
    into it. This incremental update is only within an invocation of the run
    method - BFI is not preserved across calls to run.
    Update the function entry count of the callee after inlining it into a
    caller.
    
    * I've tuned the thresholds for the hot and cold callsites using a hacked
    up version of the old inliner that explicitly computes BFI on a set of
    internal benchmarks and spec. Once the new PM based pipeline stabilizes
    (IIRC Chandler mentioned there are known issues) I'll benchmark this
    again and adjust the thresholds if required.
    Inliner PGO support.
