- Lazily load function arguments so that they can be passed as pointers.
- Lazily call the immutable store function to avoid storing zero sized
immutable data.

Storage keys and values are big endian. Keeping them LE was a pre-mature
optimization because for the contract itself it this is a no-op and thus
not observable. However we should consider the storage layout as part of
the contract ABI. The endianness of transient storage values are still
kept as-is.

- Add the revive runtime function interface to minimize boiler plate
code.
- Outline heavily repeated code into dedicated functions to bring down
code size.
- The code size tests builds optimized for size.
- Function attributes are passed as slices.
This significantly brings down the code size for all OpenZeppelin wizard
contracts (using all possible features) compiled against OpenZeppelin
`v5.0.0` with size optimizations.

On the flip side this introduces a heavy penalty for cycle optimized
builds. Setting the no-inline attributes for cycle optimized builds
helps a lot but heavily penalizes runtime speed (LLVM does not yet
inline everything properly - to be investigated later on).
Next steps:
- Modularize more functions
- Refactor the YUL function arguments to use pointers instead of values
- Afterwards check if LLVM still has trouble inline-ing properly on O3
or set the no-inline attribute if it does not penalize runtime
performance too bad.
- Update pallet-revive dependency
- Implement calls according to pallet-revive call semantics
- Switch to the new return data API in pallet revive and get rid of return data buffer
- Remove a bunch of resulting dead code
