For years we have lived in a supposedly sweet spot that gave case
binders the CPR property, unconditionally. Which is an optimistic hack
that is now described in `Historical Note [Optimistic case binder CPR]`.

In #19232 the concern was raised that this might do more harm than good
and that might be better off simply by taking the CPR property of the
scrutinee for the CPR type of the case binder. And indeed that's what we
do now.

Since `Note [CPR in a DataAlt case alternative]` is now only about field
binders, I renamed and garbage collected it into
`Note [Optimistic field binder CPR]`.
