Alexandros Lamprineas 5bfefff1c4 Reland [FuncSpec] Split the specialization bonus into CodeSize and Latency.
Currently we use a combined metric TargetTransformInfo::TCK_SizeAndLatency
when estimating the specialization bonus. This is suboptimal, and in some
cases erroneous. For example we shouldn't be weighting the codesize decrease
attributed to constant propagation by the block frequency of the dead code.
Instead only the latency savings should be weighted by block frequency. The
total codesize savings from all the specialization arguments should be
deducted from the specialization cost.

//
// This specialises functions with constant parameters. Constant parameters
// like function pointers and constant globals are propagated to the callee by
// specializing the function. The main benefit of this pass at the moment is
// that indirect calls are transformed into direct calls, which provides inline
// opportunities that the inliner would not have been able to achieve. That's
// why function specialisation is run before the inliner in the optimisation
// pipeline; that is by design. Otherwise, we would only benefit from constant
// passing, which is a valid use-case too, but hasn't been explored much in
// terms of performance uplifts, cost-model and compile-time impact.
//
// Current limitations:
// - It does not yet handle integer ranges. We do support "literal constants",
// but that's off by default under an option.
// - The cost-model could be further looked into (it mainly focuses on inlining
// benefits),
//
// Ideas:
// - With a function specialization attribute for arguments, we could have
// a direct way to steer function specialization, avoiding the cost-model,
// and thus control compile-times / code-size.
//
// Todos:
// - Specializing recursive functions relies on running the transformation a
// number of times, which is controlled by option
// `func-specialization-max-iters`. Thus, increasing this value and the
// number of iterations, will linearly increase the number of times recursive
// functions get specialized, see also the discussion in
// https://reviews.llvm.org/D106426 for details. Perhaps there is a
// compile-time friendlier way to control/limit the number of specialisations
// for recursive functions.
// - Don't transform the function if function specialization does not trigger;
// the SCCPSolver may make IR changes.
