The change in r16-7193-g158ad5f96954da5fa24d5c2a91ae92417fb62e20 changed
the recursive implementation with an iterative one using an explicit heap.

However one benefit of the previous implementation is that the frame did
not have to be saved and popped when the match is supposed to continue.

This means that on hot paths we now have additional memory accesses and
need additional instructions to calculate the memref addresses.

For DFS matching this is clearly suboptimal since when _M_rep_once_more
then we push and pop the same state but there is enough other acceses
in between the push and pop that we get a lot of cache misses.

This makes all the private _m_handle_* methods return a _StateIdT which allows
the caller to deal with the value, so that for DFS we can avoid pushing the
frame if needed.

For DFS we try to consume the state immediately until we're told to
stop.

For this to work the methods have to me marked always inline, because a key part
of the optimization is to keep the values in registers rather than passing
through stack and the function call overheads and AAPCS requirements would
negate the benefits.

The patch also reserves some frames in the initial vector to avoid having
resizes on the hot path.  To avoid large RSS before matching even starts
we provide a cap to the initial reservations.  However I have not yet addressed

Jakub's comment that the cap at 255 is likely to big. I need to do more
experiments here to figure out if it's even needed.  For now I left it since I
am expecting another respin here.

The __dfs_mode changes are because the constexpr patch still gave a big boost so
it prepares to apply it.

There is still a regression until the end of the series and each patch
will chip away at it.

Also note that with none of these changes do I see an increase heap or stack
usage that the original fix fixed.  RSS stays about the same.

PS. thanks for the link to the algorithm in the source, it was useful to
understand how the machinery works!

These changes are an ABI break. The mangled name of these member
functions does not include the return type, so instantiations in
object files compiled with GCC 16.1 would not return anything. If a
caller compiled by GCC 17 links to the old instantiation, the caller
will try to use the return value, which will be uninitialized garbage
on the stack.

Either the function names need to change, or their parameters need to
change, or they need an [[abi_tag("...")]] attribute. Some change to
cause them to mangle differently.
