Rework slot handling so that the fields that are used for dispatch are

at the start of the structure, making it easier to change the layout in
the future.

Also clean up the growth of various fields and consolidate some of the
metadata into a pointer to the `struct objc_method`.

Move the data for sparse arrays into the tree structure.

This saves one load on the message send path for each tree depth (2
loads in the common case, 3 if you have a lot of selectors), which
should improve cache usage considerably.

Note: This is a checkpoint commit.  Currently, every objc_msgSend()
implementation except for x86-64 is broken.
