Make SpecConstr bale out less often
When doing performance debugging on #22084 / !8901, I found that the algorithm in SpecConstr.decreaseSpecCount was so aggressive that if there were /more/ specialisations available for an outer function, that could more or less kill off specialisation for an /inner/ function. (An example was in nofib/spectral/fibheaps.) This patch makes it a bit more aggressive, by dividing by 2, rather than by the number of outer specialisations. This makes the program bigger, temporarily: T19695(normal) ghc/alloc +11.3% BAD because we get more specialisation. But lots of other programs compile a bit faster and the geometric mean in perf/compiler is 0.0%. Metric Increase: T19695
