tcg: allocate optimizer temps with tcg_malloc


Groundwork for supporting multiple TCG contexts.

While at it, also allocate temps_used directly as a bitmap of the
required size, instead of using a bitmap of TCG_MAX_TEMPS via
TCGTempSet.

Performance-wise we lose about 1.12% in a translation-heavy workload
such as booting+shutting down debian-arm:

Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm \
	-machine type=virt -nographic -smp 1 -m 4096 \
	-netdev user,id=unet,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
	-device virtio-net-device,netdev=unet \
	-drive file=die-on-boot.qcow2,id=myblock,index=0,if=none \
	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=myblock \
	-kernel kernel.img -append console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda1 \
	-name arm,debug-threads=on -smp 1' (10 runs):

             exec time (s)  Relative slowdown wrt original (%)
---------------------------------------------------------------
 original     20.213321616                                  0.
 tcg_malloc   20.441130078                           1.1270214
 TCGContext   20.477846517                           1.3086662
 g_malloc     20.780527895                           2.8061013

The other two alternatives shown in the table are:
- TCGContext: embed temps[TCG_MAX_TEMPS] and TCGTempSet used_temps
  in TCGContext. This is simple enough but it isn't faster than using
  tcg_malloc; moreover, it wastes memory.
- g_malloc: allocate/deallocate both temps and used_temps every time
  tcg_optimize is executed.
