[PATCH] Decrease integer-share-limit

This decreases the integer-share-limit to make sure the TREE_VEC we
allocate for the small cached integers has a reasonable size for
our GC memory allocator.  With the current value (256) and a reduced 
testcase from PR54146 we see

tree.c:1224 (build_int_cst_wide)                         40: 0.0%          
0: 0.0%   35443680: 8.7%   11635920:39.0%       9305

thus 39% overhead (oops, that TREE_VEC has size 2080).  Reducing
this to 251 yields

tree.c:1224 (build_int_cst_wide)                         40: 0.0%          
0: 0.0%   11698864: 3.0%      33696: 0.2%       9154

which is much nicer (size 2048 for signed ints, 1020 bytes on
32bit hosts if I counted correctly).

I'm queueing this for a bootstrap & regtest run.

Richard.

	* params.def (integer-share-limit): Decrease from 256 to 251,
	add rationale.
