Fix Trac #3736: do not preInlineUnconditionally with INLINE

preInlineUnconditionally was, in effect, nuking an INLINE pragma, with
very bad effect on runtime in this program.  Fortunately the fix is
very simple.

See Note [InlineRule and preInlineUnconditionally] in SimplUtils.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Surprisingly, do not pre-inline-unconditionally Ids with INLINE pragmas!
+Example
+
+   {-# INLINE f #-}
+   f :: Eq a => a -> a
+   f x = ...
+   
+   fInt :: Int -> Int
+   fInt = f Int dEqInt
+
+   ...fInt...fInt...fInt...
+
+Here f occurs just once, in the RHS of f1. But if we inline it there
+we'll lose the opportunity to inline at each of fInt's call sites.
+The INLINE pragma will only inline when the application is saturated
+for exactly this reason; and we don't want PreInlineUnconditionally
+to second-guess it.  A live example is Trac #3736.
