cmd/compile: use CDF to determine PGO inline threshold

Currently in PGO we use a percentage threshold to determine if a
callsite is hot. This CL uses a different method -- treating the
hottest callsites that make up cumulatively top X% of total edge
weights as hot (X=95 for now). This default might work better for
a wider range of profiles. (The absolute threshold can still be
changed by a flag.)

For #55022.
