compiler, runtime: allocate defer records on the stack

    
    When a defer is executed at most once in a function body,
    we can allocate the defer record for it on the stack instead
    of on the heap.
    
    This should make defers like this (which are very common) faster.
    
    This is a port of CL 171758 from the gc repo.
