Add logging to warn about under-estimated FTL inline cache sizes.

[Mark Lam]

This makes it a little more convenient to check if something has changed and if we need to re-calibrate.

I'd like to be able to use this tool to figure out if we have undersized ICs by running benchmarks. But verbose compilation and dumping to stdout would fall over for benchmarks.

Can we log and then crash, with a special option dedicated to this?

I'll add 2 options:
1. assertICSizes - will crash if IC size is inadequate.  Useful for the automated regression test case (e.g. when running benchmarks).
2. dumpFailedICSizing - will dump to stdout and continue.  Useful for finding the max size of new ICs being added.

Patch for landing.

Also added comments in the ChangeLog to describe how to use these options.

"encounters an IC size estimates" ==> "encounters IC size estimates".  Will fix before landing.
