Recommit [MachineCombiner] Update instruction depths incrementally for large BBs.

This version of the patch fixes an off-by-one error causing PR34596. We
do not need to use std::next(BlockIter) when calling updateDepths, as
BlockIter already points to the next element.

Original commit message:
> For large basic blocks with lots of combinable instructions, the
> MachineTraceMetrics computations in MachineCombiner can dominate the compile
> time, as computing the trace information is quadratic in the number of
> instructions in a BB and it's relevant successors/predecessors.

> In most cases, knowing the instruction depth should be enough to make
> combination decisions. As we already iterate over all instructions in a basic
> block, the instruction depth can be computed incrementally. This reduces the
> cost of machine-combine drastically in cases where lots of instructions
> are combined. The major drawback is that AFAIK, computing the critical path
> length cannot be done incrementally. Therefore we only compute
> instruction depths incrementally, for basic blocks with more
> instructions than inc_threshold. The -machine-combiner-inc-threshold
> option can be used to set the threshold and allows for easier
> experimenting and checking if using incremental updates for all basic
> blocks has any impact on the performance.
