[vm] Force inlining of various Struct helpers

Specifically apply prefer-inline to:

* All generated accessors. In general we almost always seem to
select them for inlining through small-accessor heuristic,
but sometimes it does not hit. Marking with pragma ensures
that we are not dependent on specific heuristics to produce
good code.
* Various helpers involved in creating struct instances from
typed data. These we *not* hit by normal heuristics and
consequently not inlined prior to this change. Inlining them
opens possibilities to fully eliminate allocations associated
with `Struct.create(...)` if Struct does not escape.
* Array creation helpers and accessors. They were also not inlined
which meant we were producing unnecessary temporary objects
when reading from inline arrays.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
