Currently, every method marked @inline is inlined, which can lead to exponential code growth.

We should probably have two kinds of threshold: one for the maximum method size, one for the maximum method growth.

The log messages intented to chronicle implicit search were
always being filtered out by virtue of the fact that the the tree
passed to `printTyping` was already typed, (e.g. with an implicit
MethodType.)

This commit enabled printing in this case, although it still
filters out trees that are deemed unfit for typer tracing,
such as `()`. In the context of implicit search, this happens
to filter out the noise of:

```
|    |    |    [search #2] start `()`, searching for adaptation to pt=Unit => Foo[Int,Int] (silent: value <local Test> in Test) implicits disabled
|    |    |    [search #3] start `()`, searching for adaptation to pt=(=> Unit) => Foo[Int,Int] (silent: value <local Test> in Test) implicits disabled
|    |    |    \-> <error>
```

... which I think is desirable.

The motivation for this fix was to better display the interaction
between implicit search and type inference. For instance:

```
class Foo[A, B]
class Test {
  implicit val f: Foo[Int, String] = ???
  def t[A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A, B]) = ???
  t(1)
}
```

````
% scalac -Ytyper-debug sandbox/instantiate.scala
...
|    |-- t(1) BYVALmode-EXPRmode (site: value <local Test> in Test)
|    |    |-- t BYVALmode-EXPRmode-FUNmode-POLYmode (silent: value <local Test> in Test)
|    |    |    [adapt] [A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing adapted to [A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing
|    |    |    \-> (a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing
|    |    |-- 1 BYVALmode-EXPRmode-POLYmode (site: value <local Test> in Test)
|    |    |    \-> Int(1)
|    |    solving for (A: ?A, B: ?B)
|    |    solving for (B: ?B)
|    |    [search #1] start `[A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing` inferring type B, searching for adaptation to pt=Foo[Int,B] (silent: value <local Test> in Test) implicits disabled
|    |    [search #1] considering f
|    |    [adapt] f adapted to => Foo[Int,String] based on pt Foo[Int,B]
|    |    [search #1] solve tvars=?B, tvars.constr= >: String <: String
|    |    solving for (B: ?B)
|    |    [search #1] success inferred value of type Foo[Int,=?String] is SearchResult(Test.this.f, TreeTypeSubstituter(List(type B),List(String)))
|    |    |-- [A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing BYVALmode-EXPRmode (site: value <local Test> in Test)
|    |    |    \-> Nothing
|    |    [adapt] [A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing adapted to [A, B](a: A)(implicit f: Foo[A,B])Nothing
|    |    \-> Nothing
