Which issue does this PR close?

Rationale for this change

The ascii function currently converts scalar inputs to arrays before processing via make_scalar_function. Adding a scalar fast path avoids this overhead and improves performance.

What changes are included in this PR?

  1. Refactored invoke_with_args to use match statement for handling both scalar and array inputs
  2. Added scalar fast path for Utf8, LargeUtf8, and Utf8View scalar inputs
Type Before After Speedup
ascii/scalar_utf8 234 ns 56 ns 4.2x
ascii/scalar_utf8view 206 ns 57 ns 3.6x

Are these changes tested?
