Use a lookup table to find the function which contains a pc. It is
faster than the old binary search. findfunc is used primarily for
stack copying and garbage collection.

(findfunc is one of several tasks done by stack copy, the findfunc
time itself is about 2.5x faster.)
The lookup table is built at link time. The table grows the binary
size by about 0.5% of the text segment.
We impose a lower limit of 16 bytes on any function, which should not
have much of an impact. (The real constraint required is <=256
functions in every 4096 bytes, but 16 bytes/function is easier to
implement.)
