Forked from [JDK-8366681](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8366681): there are still some cleanups/performance improvements possible. Current selection code is a bit hairy, and turns out the changes I made for previous patch improve performance.
Notable improvements:
1. Push the compilation level filters downwards. This allows compiling A2 from T2/T3 code more easily, and allows to implement policies for compiling on any A* level based on observing top-compiled T* levels.
2. Sort methods by hotness and code size. This avoids a fairly awkward path to get compile IDs, ditching which _I suspect_ is the cause for performance improvement. With new code, we compile a tad more A2 code. I have not digged through why current code accepts fewer methods for compilation. New code improves performance everywhere, so I suggest we just accept that and move on.
Additional testing:
- [x] Performance tests (see comments)
- [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `runtime/cds`
