Core-syntax unfoldings

Unfoldings (which can travel across module boundaries) are in Core
syntax (namely @CoreExpr@s).

The type @Unfolding@ sits ``above'' simply-Core-expressions
unfoldings, capturing ``higher-level'' things we know about a binding,
usually things that the simplifier found out (e.g., ``it's a
literal'').  In the corner of a @CoreUnfolding@ unfolding, you will
find, unsurprisingly, a Core expression.

We have very limited information about an unfolding expression: (1)~so
many type arguments and so many value arguments expected---for our
purposes here, we assume we've got those.  (2)~A ``size'' or ``cost,''
a single integer.  (3)~An ``argument info'' vector.  For this, what we
have at the moment is a Boolean per argument position that says, ``I
will look with great favour on an explicit constructor in this
position.'' (4)~The ``discount'' to subtract if the expression
is being scrutinised. 

Assuming we have enough type- and value arguments (if not, we give up
immediately), then we see if the ``discounted size'' is below some
(semi-arbitrary) threshold.  It works like this: for every argument
position where we're looking for a constructor AND WE HAVE ONE in our
hands, we get a (again, semi-arbitrary) discount [proportion to the
number of constructors in the type being scrutinized].

If we're in the context of a scrutinee ( \tr{(case <expr > of A .. -> ...;.. )})
and the expression in question will evaluate to a constructor, we use
the computed discount size *for the result only* rather than
computing the argument discounts. Since we know the result of
the expression is going to be taken apart, discounting its size
is more accurate (see @sizeExpr@ above for how this discount size
is computed).

We use this one to avoid exporting inlinings that we ``couldn't possibly
use'' on the other side.  Can be overridden w/ flaggery.

This is the key function.  It decides whether to inline a variable at a call site

callSiteInline is used at call sites, so it is a bit more generous.
It's a very important function that embodies lots of heuristics.
A non-WHNF can be inlined if it doesn't occur inside a lambda,
and occurs exactly once or 
    occurs once in each branch of a case and is small

If the thing is in WHNF, there's no danger of duplicating work, 
so we can inline if it occurs once, or is small

NOTE: we don't want to inline top-level functions that always diverge.
It just makes the code bigger.  Tt turns out that the convenient way to prevent
them inlining is to give them a NOINLINE pragma, which we do in 
StrictAnal.addStrictnessInfoToTopId

Note [Nested functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a function has a nested defn we also record some-benefit, on the
grounds that we are often able to eliminate the binding, and hence the
allocation, for the function altogether; this is good for join points.
But this only makes sense for *functions*; inlining a constructor
doesn't help allocation unless the result is scrutinised.  UNLESS the
constructor occurs just once, albeit possibly in multiple case
branches.  Then inlining it doesn't increase allocation, but it does
increase the chance that the constructor won't be allocated at all in
the branches that don't use it.

Note [Lone variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "lone-variable" case is important.  I spent ages messing about
with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice.  The idea is that if a
variable appears all alone
        as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs    Stop
        as scrutinee of a case          Select
        as arg of a strict fn           ArgOf
AND
        it is bound to a value
then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason,
e.g. is is the sole occurrence).  That is what is happening at 
the use of 'lone_variable' in 'interesting_saturated_call'.

Why?  At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning
        let x = (a,b) in case x of y -> ...
into
        let x = (a,b) in case (a,b) of y -> ...
and thence to 
        let x = (a,b) in let y = (a,b) in ...
is bad if the binding for x will remain.

Another example: I discovered that strings
were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error'
because the latter is strict.
        s = "foo"
        f = \x -> ...(error s)...

Fundamentally such contexts should not encourage inlining because the
context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a
RULE) so there's no gain.  If the thing is bound to a value.

However, watch out:

 * Consider this:
        foo = _inline_ (\n. [n])
        bar = _inline_ (foo 20)
        baz = \n. case bar of { (m:_) -> m + n }
   Here we really want to inline 'bar' so that we can inline 'foo'
   and the whole thing unravels as it should obviously do.  This is 
   important: in the NDP project, 'bar' generates a closure data
   structure rather than a list. 

 * Even a type application or coercion isn't a lone variable.
   Consider
        case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c }
   We had better inline that sucker!  The case won't see through it.

   For now, I'm treating treating a variable applied to types 
   in a *lazy* context "lone". The motivating example was
        f = /\a. \x. BIG
        g = /\a. \y.  h (f a)
   There's no advantage in inlining f here, and perhaps
   a significant disadvantage.  Hence some_val_args in the Stop case
