Request for review (S): 7042122: JSR 292: adjust various inline thresholds for JSR 292 API methods and method handle adapters

[Tom Rodriguez]

>> The reason I came up with something like band-aid fix is because I didn't have enough time to do something more sophisticated and we need something that works in Java 7.  JRuby wants to enable invokedynamic by default for the current development version as soon as we have heuristic that makes out-of-the-box performance good enough (reads: equally or better than non-indy).

I do have one concrete thought about this but it would require some investigation.  The method handle chains themselves aren't profiled but presumably the base call site is.  Maybe we should be looking back through method handle calls to find the frequency of the base call site and feeding that into the frequent call site logic.
