runtime: speed up stack copying

I was surprised to see readvarint show up in a cpu profile.

Use a few simple optimizations to speed up stack copying:

* Avoid making a copy of the cache.entries array or any of its elements.
* Use a shift instead of a signed division in stackmapdata.
* Change readvarint to return the number of bytes consumed
  rather than an updated slice.
* Make some minor optimizations to readvarint to help the compiler.
* Avoid called readvarint when the value fits in a single byte.

The first and last optimizations are the most significant,
although they all contribute a little.

Add a benchmark for stack copying that includes lots of different
functions in a recursive loop, to bust the cache.

This might speed up other runtime operations as well;
I only benchmarked stack copying.

name                old time/op  new time/op  delta
StackCopy-8         96.4ms ± 2%  82.7ms ± 1%  -14.24%  (p=0.000 n=20+19)
StackCopyNoCache-8   167ms ± 1%   131ms ± 1%  -21.58%  (p=0.000 n=20+20)
