optimizer: supports callsite annotations of inlining, fixes #18773

Enable `@inline`/`@noinline` annotations on function callsites.
From #40754.

Now `@inline` and `@noinline` can be applied to a code block and then
the compiler will try to (not) inline calls within the block:
```julia
@inline f(...)

@noinline f(...) + g(...)

@inline f(args...) = ...
```

Here are couple of notes on how those callsite annotations will work:
- callsite annotation always has the precedence over the annotation
  applied to the definition of the called function, whichever we use
  `@inline`/`@noinline`:
  ```julia
  @inline function explicit_inline(args...)
      # body
  end

  let
      @noinline explicit_inline(args...) # this call will not be inlined
  end
  ```
- when callsite annotations are nested, the innermost annotations has
  the precedence
  ```julia
  @noinline let a0, b0 = ...
      a = @inline f(a0)  # the compiler will try to inline this call
      b = notinlined(b0) # the compiler will NOT try to inline this call
      return a, b
  end
  ```
They're both tested and included in documentations.
