a keyword splat to a method that accepts specific keywords
does not allocate a hash.
* `super` is optimized when the same type of method is called in the previous call,
when it's not refinements or an attr reader or writer.
### JIT
* Native functions shared by multiple methods are deduplicated on JIT compaction.
* Decrease code size of hot paths by some optimizations and partitioning cold paths.
* Not only pure Ruby methods but also some C methods skip pushing a method frame.
* `Kernel#class`, `Integer#zero?`
* Always generate appropriate code for `==`, `nil?`, and `!` calls depending on
a receiver class.
* Optimize instance variable access in some core classes like Hash and their subclasses
* Eliminate VM register access on a method return
* Optimize C method call a little
## Miscellaneous changes
* Methods using `ruby2_keywords` will no longer keep empty keyword
