In V8, the only way to pass a Wasm integer or float to JS without
allocation is by passing it as a 31-bit integer.
This can be done by:
1. Passing as `i32`. If the integer fits into 31 bits it's passed
without allocation.
2. Passing as externalized `i31ref`.
(1) requires importing the JS function with different signatures: for
each `int` argument we would need a signature with the `i32` as the Wasm
argument type, and another with `externref` (or `f64` if we want to pass
large integers as `f64`).
This is not feasible as with a JS function with N `int` arguments we
would need `2^N` imports. So we implement (2): we import each interop
function with one signature, passing `externref` as the argument, as
before. When the number fits into 31 bits we convert it to an `i31ref`
and externalize it. Otherwise we convert the number to `externref` as
before, by calling the JS function `(o) => o` imported with type `[f64]
-> [externref]`.
New benchmark checks `int` passing for small (31 bit) and large (larger
than 31 bit) integers. Results before:
WasmJSInterop.call.void.1ArgsSmi(RunTimeRaw): 0.020 ns.
WasmJSInterop.call.void.1ArgsInt(RunTimeRaw): 0.018 ns.
After:
WasmJSInterop.call.void.1ArgsSmi(RunTimeRaw): 0.014 ns.
WasmJSInterop.call.void.1ArgsInt(RunTimeRaw): 0.018 ns.
