inlining: Use concrete-eval effects if available

It is possible for concrete-eval to refine effects, but be unable
to inline (because the constant is too large, c.f. #47283).
However, in that case, we would still like to use the extra
effect information to make sure that the optimizer can delete
the statement if it turns out to be unused. There are two cases:
the first is where the call is not inlineable at all. This
one is simple, because we just apply the effects on the :invoke
as we usually would. The second is trickier: If we do end up
inlining the call, we need to apply the overriden effects to
every inlined statement, because we lose the identity of the
function as a whole. This is a bit nasty and I don't really like
it, but I'm not sure what a better alternative would be. We could
always refuse to inline calls with large-constant results
(since we currently pessimize what is being inlined anyway), but
I'm not sure that would be better. This is a simple solution and
works for the case I have in practice, but we may want to revisit
it in the future.

+This function answers the query:
+
+    Given a call site annotated as `effects`, what can we say about each inlined
+    statement after the inlining?
+
+Note that this is different from `flags_for_effects`, which just talks about
+the call site itself. Consider for example:
+
+````
+    function foo()
+        V = Any[]
+        push!(V, 1)
+        tuple(V...)
+    end
+```
+
+This function is properly inferred effect_free, because it has no global effects.
+However, we may not inline each statement with an :effect_free flag, because
+that would incorrectly lose the `push!`.
