[vm/compiler] Allow WB elimination for small arrays.

Previously all arrays were excluded from WB elimination pass
to avoid invariant restoration code creating excessive work
for the GC and to avoid dealing with card marking in the
invariant restoration code.

It seems reasonable to enable this for small arrays of up to 8
elements. The cut of point of 8 elements was chosen based on the
cut of point for literal<N> specialisations provided by the
core library for creating small literal arrays.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

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

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

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).
