Some compiler-specific optimizations turn out to be very helpful for Lists in general.
* List map can be a lot faster (up to 5x!)
* List collect can be considerably faster (up to 3x)
* List flatMap can be a bit faster (2x)
* List take can be slightly faster (1.1x) and have better structural sharing
These appear to be unqualified wins (tested), even in a scenario with mixed collections. This is expected: detecting the builder is faster than the otherwise mandatory object creation, and multiple dispatch is mostly a wash since it was already multiple dispatch in getting to the builder.
With -optimize, map is not always such a big win, but is never slower.
Also added @noinline to map to work around an optimizer bug (SI-8334) and added a test to check that the pattern that triggers the optimizer bug does not affect any of the map-like methods.
