Avoid an extra artifact as the runtimes need this to function in Unity anyway.

This will require changes to the Unity integration once this lands.

# Local heap optimizations on Arm64

1. When not required to zero the allocated space for local heap (for sizes up to 64 bytes) - do not emit zeroing sequence. Instead do stack probing and adjust stack pointer:

```diff
-            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
-            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
-            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
-            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
+            ldr     wzr, [sp],#-64
```

2. For sizes less than one `PAGE_SIZE` use `ldr wzr, [sp], #-amount` that does probing at `[sp]` and allocates the space at the same time. This saves one instruction for such local heap allocations:

```diff
-            ldr     wzr, [sp]
-            sub     sp, sp, #208
+            ldr     wzr, [sp],#-208
```

Use `ldp tmpReg, xzr, [sp], #-amount` when the offset not encodable by post-index variant of `ldr`:
```diff
-            ldr     wzr, [sp]
-            sub     sp, sp, dotnet#512
+            ldp     x0, xzr, [sp],#-512
```

3. Allow non-loop zeroing (i.e. unrolled sequence) for sizes up to 128 bytes (i.e. up to `LCLHEAP_UNROLL_LIMIT`). This frees up two internal integer registers for such cases:

```diff
-            mov     w11, #128
-                                               ;; bbWeight=0.50 PerfScore 0.25
-G_M44913_IG19:        ; gcrefRegs=00F9 {x0 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7}, byrefRegs=0000 {}, byref, isz
             stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
-            subs    x11, x11, #16
-            bne     G_M44913_IG19
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-112]!
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#16]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#32]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#48]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#64]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#80]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#96]
```

4. Do zeroing in ascending order of the effective address:

```diff
-            mov     w7, #96
-G_M49279_IG13:
             stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-16]!
-            subs    x7, x7, #16
-            bne     G_M49279_IG13
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#-80]!
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#16]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#32]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#48]
+            stp     xzr, xzr, [sp,#64]
```

In the example, the zeroing is done at `[initialSp-16], [initialSp-96], [initialSp-80], [initialSp-64], [initialSp-48], [initialSp-32]` addresses. The idea here is to allow a CPU to detect the sequential `memset` to `0` pattern and switch into write streaming mode.
