[InlineCost] Improve the cost heuristic for Switch

Summary:
The motivation example is like below which has 13 cases but only 2 distinct targets

```
lor.lhs.false2:                                   ; preds = %if.then
  switch i32 %Status, label %if.then27 [
    i32 -7012, label %if.end35
    i32 -10008, label %if.end35
    i32 -10016, label %if.end35
    i32 15000, label %if.end35
    i32 14013, label %if.end35
    i32 10114, label %if.end35
    i32 10107, label %if.end35
    i32 10105, label %if.end35
    i32 10013, label %if.end35
    i32 10011, label %if.end35
    i32 7008, label %if.end35
    i32 7007, label %if.end35
    i32 5002, label %if.end35
  ]
```
which is compiled into a balanced binary tree like this on AArch64 (similar on X86)

```

```
However, the inline cost model estimates the cost to be linear with the number
of distinct targets and the cost of the above switch is just 2 InstrCosts.
The function containing this switch is then inlined about 900 times.

This change use the general way of switch lowering for the inline heuristic. It
etimate the number of case clusters with the suitability check for a jump table
or bit test. Considering the binary search tree built for the clusters, this
change modifies the model to be linear with the size of the balanced binary
tree. The model is off by default for now :
  -inline-generic-switch-cost=false

This change was originally proposed by Haicheng in D29870.
