There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think this is accurate on V8, at least, because function tables are privileged in some special way that actually makes call_indirect faster than call_ref even though it does more work semantically. Let's just give them the same cost here.

The cost of "4" earlier was in place because call costs don't really matter
(the effects prevent removing/replacing them), but there are calls without
effects, like with the proper intrinsic. Model call costs as very expensive.
The monomorphize test change is because it has hardcoded costs, and
calls are now too "heavy" for what it wants. The calls are replaced by
other code that does a bunch of work.
Fixes #8044
