The inline cache for LOAD_ATTR is too large. #93533

Description

@markshannon

The inline cache for LOAD_METHOD takes 10 code units, which is considerably larger than other inline caches, and is an obstacle to merging LOAD_ATTR and LOAD_METHOD (#93430), as LOAD_ATTR is such a common instruction.

See faster-cpython/ideas#396 for some ideas on how to shrink the inline cache.
