Summary Value profiling should just use two buckets

I did some benchmarking and found that the use of 8+1 buckets (8 for old JIT profiling and 1 for OSR exit profiling) is more than we need. We get just as good if not better performance from just using 1+1 (one each for old JIT profiling and OSR exit profiling). This is great because it simplifies the value profiling path (fewer instructions, faster), saves a register in the old JIT, and reduces space usage.
