Go 1.27 Specializes Small Allocations for Up to 30% Faster mallocs

Go 1.27 specializes allocation paths for objects under 80 bytes, emitting span-class-specific malloc functions while retaining generic fallbacks. Small allocations improve by up to 20–30%, although whole-program gains are around 1% and constrained by instruction-cache tradeoffs.
