    Original change's description:
    > [interpreter] Short Star bytecode
    >
    > Design doc:
    > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g_NExMT78II_KnIYNa9MvyPYIj23qAiFUEsyemY5KRk/edit
    >
    > This change adds 16 new interpreter opcodes, kStar0 through kStar15, so
    > that we can use a single byte to represent the common operation of
    > storing to a low-numbered register. This generally reduces the quantity
    > of bytecode generated on web sites by 8-9%.
    >
    > In order to not degrade speed, a couple of other changes are required:
    >
    > The existing lookahead logic to check for Star after certain other
    > bytecode handlers is updated to check for these new short Star codes
    > instead. Furthermore, that lookahead logic is updated to contain its own
    > copy of the dispatch jump rather than merging control flow with the
    > lookahead-failed case, to improve branch prediction.
    >
    > A bunch of constants use bytecode size in bytes as a proxy for the size
    > or complexity of a function, and are adjusted downward proportionally to
    > the decrease in generated bytecode size.
    >
    > Other small drive-by fix: update generate-bytecode-expectations to emit
    > \n instead of \r\n on Windows.
