clusterlin: drop support for improvable chunking (simplification)

With MergeLinearizations() gone and the LIMO-based Linearize() replaced by SFL, we do not
need a class (LinearizationChunking) that can maintain an incrementally-improving chunk
set anymore.

Replace it with a function (ChunkLinearizationInfo) that just computes the chunks as
SetInfos once, and returns them as a vector. This simplifies several call sites too.
