syscall/js: allocate arg slices on stack for small numbers of args

The existing implementation causes unnecessary heap allocations for
javascript syscalls: Call, Invoke, and New. The new change seeks to
hint the Go compiler to allocate arg slices with length <=16 to the
stack.

Original Work: CL 367045
- Calling a JavaScript function with 16 arguments or fewer will not
induce two additional heap allocations, at least with the current Go
compiler.
- Using syscall/js features with slices and strings of
statically-known length will not cause them to be escaped to the heap,
at least with the current Go compiler.
- The reduction in allocations has the additional benefit that the
garbage collector runs less often, blocking WebAssembly's one and only
thread less often.

Fixes #39740
