Cobol V5/6: Additional statistics about inlining

In RFE 78496 a compiler directive to control inlining is requested.
Additional to this valid RFE request an inlining statistic would be helpful.

If sections/paragraphs are large and called from several places, inlining duplicates code throughout the program. This increase in program size might offset any performance gain.

Additional information about the inlining done during compilation would be helpful to figure out which sections/paragraphs are worth to be considered when controlling inlining.
In a statistic within the compiler listing the developer should see
- how often sections/paragraphs were inlined.
- how many (Assembler-) instructions were approximately inlined on an average.
