Flags: needinfo?(lsalzman)

This is expected due to the addition of new critical code on heavily inlined paths that yielded some very substantial performance gains. We will accept the regression here.

This removes some calls to commit_span from inside the draw_span specializers.
Instead it relies upon the span rasterizer loop to do some of the work, which
will incur a function pointer call in the rare case we actually return out
of a specializer early. This shouldn't be that performance critical and will
remove some inliner bloat.

The remaining regressions are acceptable, as stated above. I did what I could to mitigate the size increases somewhat, and there is nothing more that can be done without impacting performance significantly.
