[v9.x] async_hooks: use typed array stack as fast path by addaleax · Pull Request #18290 · nodejs/node

- Communicate the current async stack length through a
  typed array field rather than a native binding method
- Add a new fixed-size `async_ids_fast_stack` typed array
  that contains the async ID stack up to a fixed limit.
  This increases performance noticeably, since most of the time
  the async ID stack will not be more than a handful of
  levels deep.
- Make the JS `pushAsyncIds()` and `popAsyncIds()` functions
  do the same thing as the native ones if the fast path
  is applicable.
