React Compiler: Store aliasing values in an inline set (#37366)

97.6% of the value sets tracked per identifier in mutation / aliasing
inference hold exactly one element, but each was a `FxHashSet`, meaning
each was a heap allocation.
Because the inference code retains a full state in each basic block,
these single-element hashsets were a major contributor to peak memory
allocation.

This replaces them with a small inline set inspired by smolvec /
tinyvec. Five values are stored inline, and any more spill to the heap.
This was only needed in **0.02%** of sets in my data corpus.

This also makes iteration order match the TS implementation. TS uses
`Set` and iterates in insertion order; the Fx set iterated in hash
order. This brings the two behaviors in line.

| Benchmark | Peak allocation | Allocation count | Wall time |

|------------------|-----------------------------|------------------|-----------|
| legacy/image.tsx | 33.40 -> 28.07 MiB (-16.0%) | -66.7% | -28.8% |
| next-client | 33.40 -> 28.07 (-16.0%) | -42.0% | -15.7% |
| devtools | 16.29 -> 14.25 (-12.5%) | -19.9% | -7.3% |
| fixtures | 9.41 -> 7.90 (-16.0%) | -7.3% | -3.3% |
| next-examples | 4.85 -> 4.85 ( 0.0%) | -4.8% | -1.6% |
