Fix inline cost predictions with SCIENCE.

After running a batch of measurements, it is clear that the inliner metrics
need some adjustments:

Own argument bonus:       20 -> 5
Outgoing argument penalty: 0 -> 5
Alloca bonus:             10 -> 5
Constant instr bonus:      7 -> 5
Dead successor bonus:     40 -> 5*(avg instrs/block)

The new cost metrics are generaly 25 points higher than before, so we may need
to move thresholds.

With this change, InlineConstants::CallPenalty becomes a political correction:

if (!isa<IntrinsicInst>(II) && !callIsSmall(CS.getCalledFunction()))
  NumInsts += InlineConstants::CallPenalty + CS.arg_size();

The code size is accurately modelled by CS.arg_size(). CallPenalty is added
because calls tend to take a long time, so it may not be worth it to inline a
function with lots of calls.

All of the political corrections are in the InlineConstants namespace:
IndirectCallBonus, CallPenalty, LastCallToStaticBonus, ColdccPenalty,
NoreturnPenalty.
