rmcilroy f241a61a34 [Interpreter] Support compiling for baseline on return from interpreted function.
We cannot tier up from interpreted to baseline code when there is an
activation of the function on the stack. This significantly regresses
the performance of recursive functions since they are unlikely to get
tiered up.

This CL adds the ability for a function to be marked for baseline
compilation when it returns. To do this we patch the
InterpreterEntryTrampoline return address to point to
InterpreterMarkBaselineOnReturn, which leaves the
interpreted frame and recompile the function for
baseline.

This improves the score of EarlyBoyer by ~8x for Ignition.
