Remove the --rxtrace feature

It would need implementing somewhat differently under new-disp, but also seems very rarely used (the same kind of information is available by looking at --target=parse). Furthermore, the way it was done incurred costs even when not in use on one very hot path (`find_method`, which got hotter on new-disp) and also on every language switch (also fairly hot, given it happens on each string literal or regex we encounter when parsing), which is quite a lot to pay for something barely used. Drop it; if somebody really misses it, we'll find out and can find a better way to do it.

Make p6captureouters not depend on legacy invoke

With this, the extops are now free of all things that are to go away as part of new-disp.

rakudo/new-disp: bdd1fae0d0 | (Jonathan Worthington)++ | src/vm/moar/dispatchers.nqp
Add Junction failover for named args in multis

This makes multiple dispatch failover also account for named arguments, not just positional ones. This is not precisely the same semantics as on the master branch: there, we invoke a candidate that would fail to bind because of an encountered Junction arg, and rely on the single dispatch binder failure to trigger auto-threading. This was only true of Junction named arguments to multis, not of positional ones, and thus rather inconsistent. (It was also certainly an implementation accident rather than carefully considered semantics.) The new semantics do it as a bind failover exclusively.

Update the concretization table more sparingly

This shouldn't need to be cleared upon each addition to the concretization list; because that can only be added to from its end and because we know how many concretizations are already in any given table, we should know exactly which concretizations will be missing from the clone during a rebuild.

The CannotPrecomp error message was LTA because it did not provide actionable information to new users. This revision clarifies that users should remove the item that cannot be pre-compiled from a Module.

Streamline find_method implementation

This is called more now, since it's what is used to set up the inline caches at callsites. Thus it's worth shaving some cycles off. These tweaks are worth almost half a million CPU cycles off startup alone.
