CallArity: Use exprIsCheap to detect thunks
Originally, everything that is not in WHNF (`exprIsWHNF`) is considered
a thunk, not eta-expanded, to avoid losing any sharing. This is also how
the published papers on Call Arity describe it.
In practice, there are thunks that do a just little work, such as
pattern-matching on a variable, and the benefits of eta-expansion likely
oughtweigh the cost of doing that repeatedly. Therefore, this
implementation of Call Arity considers everything that is not cheap
(`exprIsCheap`) as a thunk.
Nofib reports -2.58% allocations for scs and -40.93% allocation for
wheel-sieve1; the latter has - 2.92% runtime.
