reflect: cache IsVariadic calls in Call

These calls are cacheable, so do that to avoid doing extra work.

This opportunity was discovered while taking a look at a CPU profile
while investigating #7818.

I added a BenchmarkCallMethod, which is similar to BechmarkCall but
for a method receiver.

Benchmark results, including the new BenchmarkCallMethod:
