[Hexagon] Improve scheduling heuristic for large basic blocks

This patch changes the isLatencyBound heuristic to look at the
path length based upon the number of packets needed to schedule
a basic block. For small basic blocks, the heuristic uses a small
threshold for isLatencyBound. For large basic blocks, the
heuristic uses a large threshold.

The goal is to increase the priority of an instruction in a small
basic block that has a large height or depth relative to the code
size. For large functions, the height and depth are ignored
because it increases the live range of a register and causes more
spills. That is, for large functions, it is more important to
schedule instructions when available, and attempt to keep the defs
and uses closer together.
