This effectively returns us to the code from dc65f70.
With the recent pass manager changes, combined with upcoming inliner
changes, we can potentially run the inliner more than we currently
do. Allowing self-recursive functions to be inlined, and running the
inliner more often, can result in a lot of code bloat, which increases
binary sizes and compile times. Even with a relatively small value (10)
for the number of times we allow a function to run through the pass
pipeline, we end up with a significant increase in the stdlib and
stdlib unit test build times.
This results in some performance regressions, but I think the trade-off
here is reasonable.
