This avoids O(n) on lookups with structs over 10 members.
This also avoids O(n) behavior on all assignments on Struct members.
Members 0..9 still use existing C methods to read in O(1) time
Benchmark results:
vm2_struct_big_aref_hi* 1.305
vm2_struct_big_aref_lo* 1.157
vm2_struct_big_aset* 3.306
vm2_struct_small_aref* 1.015
vm2_struct_small_aset* 3.273
Note: I chose use loading instructions from an array instead of writing
directly to linked-lists in compile.c for ease-of-maintainability. We
may move the method definitions to prelude.rb-like files in the future.
I have also tested this patch with the following patch to disable
the C ref_func methods and ensured the test suite and rubyspec works
