It helps the PIR Ackerman benchmark by 4.67%. parrot_pass_args gets more

Parrot_init_arg_indexes_and_sig_pmc gets called much, much less. I played
with the patch a little bit, but didn't get it much faster.
So is the optimization worth applying, do you think? Seems like a
relatively small gain once we take it away from a benchmark that we'd
expect it to directly help...
It may be possible to avoid the Parrot_init_arg_indexes_and_sig_pmc calls, but
I couldn't immediately see how.
I pondered this too, but didn't really look into it properly.
