This avoids the overhead of allocating a new Array on every function
call, saving a substantial amount of time and avoiding GC thrash.
This patch only makes use of Op::Call in CallExpression. There are other
places we should codegen this op. We should also do the same for super
expression calls.

Forcing every function call to allocate a new Array just to accommodate
spread parameters is not very nice, so let's start moving towards making
this a special case rather than the general (and only) case.
This pass tries to eliminate repeated lookups of variables by name, by
remembering where these where last loaded to.
For now the lookup cache needs to be fully cleared with each call or
property access, because we do not have a way to check if these have any
side effects on the currently visible scopes.
Note that property accesses can cause getters/setters to be called, so
these are treated as calls in all cases.
