performance heuristic
After inlining a function with more than 13 basic blocks 32 times, we
are not going to inline it anymore. The idea is that inlining large
functions leads to drastic performance implications. Since the function
has already been inlined, we know that we've analyzed it in many
contexts.
The following metrics are used:
- Large function is a function with more than 13 basic blocks (we
should switch to another metric, like cyclomatic complexity)
- We consider that we've inlined a function many times if it's been
inlined 32 times. This number is configurable with -analyzer-config
max-times-inline-large=xx
This heuristic addresses a performance regression introduced with
inlining on one benchmark. The analyzer on this benchmark became 60
times slower with inlining turned on. The heuristic allows us to analyze
it in 24% of the time. The performance improvements on the other
benchmarks I've tested with are much lower - under 10%, which is
expected.

After every 1000 CFGElements processed, the ExplodedGraph trims out nodes
that satisfy a number of criteria for being "boring" (single predecessor,
single successor, and more). Rather than controlling this with a cc1 option,
which can only disable this behavior, we now have an analyzer-config option,
'graph-trim-interval', which can change this interval from 1000 to something
else. Setting the value to 0 disables reclamation.
The next commit relies on this behavior to actually test anything.

table, making it printable with the ConfigDump checker. Along the
way, fix a really serious bug where the value was getting parsed
from the string in code that was in an assert() call. This means
in a Release-Asserts build this code wouldn't work as expected.

string in the config table so that it can be dumped as part of the
config dumper. Add a test to show that these options are sticking
and can be cross-checked using FileCheck.
