Optimize method linking

Added more inlining, removed imt array allocation and replaced it
with a handle scope. Removed some un-necessary handle scopes.

Added logic to base interface method tables from the superclass so
that we dont need to reconstruct for every interface (large win).

LinkInterfaceMethods no longer one of the hottest methods, new list:
4.73% art::ClassLinker::LinkVirtualMethods(art::Thread*, art::Handle<art::mirror::Class>)
3.07% art::DexFile::FindClassDef(char const*) const
2.94% art::mirror::Class::FindDeclaredStaticField(art::mirror::DexCache const*, unsigned int)
2.90% art::DexFile::FindStringId(char const*) const
