coccinelle: dial back warnings about performance

Turns out I _really_ underestimated the impact of
--include-headers-for-types, as it significantly reduces both runtime
and storage penalties. For example, on my machine the runtime of
uncached run goes down from ~15 minutes to ~2 minutes, and similarly the
total storage needed by the cache goes from ~15 GiB down to ~3 GiB.

# reuse the cached ASTs for other rules. This cuts down the time needed to run each rule by ~60%.
