Deprecate no-op codegen option -Cinline-threshold=...

This deprecates `-Cinline-threshold` since using it has no effect. This
has been the case since the new LLVM pass manager started being used,
more than 2 years ago.

 ## inline-threshold
 
-This option lets you set the default threshold for inlining a function. It
-takes an unsigned integer as a value. Inlining is based on a cost model, where
-a higher threshold will allow more inlining.
-
-The default depends on the [opt-level](#opt-level):
-
-| opt-level | Threshold |
-|-----------|-----------|
-| 0         | N/A, only inlines always-inline functions |
-| 1         | N/A, only inlines always-inline functions and LLVM lifetime intrinsics |
-| 2         | 225 |
-| 3         | 275 |
