Vyacheslav Egorov d117760ba6 [vm/kernel/aot] Skip unnecessary type checks on parameters of instance methods.
This relands 75a9579ea0.

The approach works as follows:

Step 1: Kernel transform. Under the closed world assumption compute the
set of selectors dispatched dynamically, then mark all procedures that don't
match any of those selectors as 'not-dispatched-dynamically'.

Step 2: VM backend. When building IR for a function if this function was
marked as not-dispatched-dynamically then omit type checks for any parameter
that is not marked as generic-covariant-impl, as such arguments are guaranteed
to be checked on the caller side (by front-end).

Alternatively to annotating individual procedures, I considered annotating Program node
with a set of dynamically dispatched selectors. Decoding and passing this information
around proved to be quite cumbersome in the "streaming" world, so I opted for a simpler
approach where all individual procedures are annotated.
