Fixes #85539

Adds fixed-parameter-count and Span-based Invoke APIs for performance, primarily achieved by preventing the object[] allocation for when there are <= 4 parameters. Also, additional, faster, emit-based functions are generated for methods that don't have ref\out parameters and meet other constraints. These are also used by the existing Invoke methods so performance there has increased as well.

Todo

  • Add doc for the new public methods
  • Create PR for Mono to address unboxing a "true nullable" (currently the PR doesn't generate faster emit-based code for Mono). Done - see Enable Mono for using faster invoke stubs #89108
  • Add tests that layer on top of existing ones; currently this PR just adds a handful of new tests for the new APIs.
  • Add the new benchmarks to the performance repo

Benchmarks

Benchmarks for the new APIs. ~2.4- 3.3x faster for the 4 parameter case with no allocs. Also, these improvements would be greater but they are compared to the existing Invoke API which was also made faster here.

Note regarding the new-api-needs-documentation label:

This serves as a reminder for when your PR is modifying a ref *.cs file and adding/modifying public APIs, please make sure the API implementation in the src *.cs file is documented with triple slash comments, so the PR reviewers can sign off that change.

Left a few NITs, overall looks good to me.

RuntimeType sigType = _argTypes[i];

// Convert the type if necessary.
// Note that Type.Missing is not supported.

NIT: By assuming this applyes to all new Invoke methods, this might be good to be added to the public doc
