In SSA we are not allowed to have PARAM_DECL as call arg.  The problem
in this optimization is that when we replace a tail call with jump, we
replace default SSA name of input parameter with PHI node holding
taking original param and call's arg.  This PHI node then is used in
BUILT_IN_CHKP_ARG_BND, but is should not. Optimizer has to be taught
to analizy bind_bounds of replaced call and generate PHI nodes for
bounds.

In general for not important optimizations I resolve the stability
issue with instrumented code and will enable optimizations later. For
obviously important optimizations, like inline, support is initially
added.
