Description
The binary search for the function dispatch seems to be only implemented in the legacy codegen.
Context:
https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/blob/da50176b1ffec4444996cb4551e6a78f99bd2990/libsolidity/codegen/ContractCompiler.cpp#L325
Implement the same for the IR based codegen.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the referenced dispatch logic in libsolidity/codegen/ContractCompiler.cpp around line 325, then locate the corresponding entry point in the IR-based codegen. Compare the two dispatch paths and determine how the existing binary-search behavior should carry over. Done means IR-generated contracts use binary search for function dispatch as the legacy codegen does.
