Cache the sized-ness of struct types, once we reach the steady state of

"is sized". This prevents every query to isSized() from recursing over
every sub-type of a struct type. This could get *very* slow for
extremely deep nesting of structs, as in 177.mesa.

This change is a 45% speedup for 'opt -O2' of 177.mesa.linked.bc, and
likely a significant speedup for other cases as well. It even impacts
-O0 cases because so many part of the code try to check whether a type
is sized.

Thanks for the review from Nick Lewycky and Benjamin Kramer on IRC.
