We were emitting a gob of inefficient bytecode that created an arguments array on the stack, then applied it to the parent constructor.
Add a new opcode for initializing a derived class. Speeds up construction by 500%, although sadly that is not visible in the web-tooling-benchmark, only in microbenchmarks.
