This replaces the single Vec allocation with a series of progressively
larger buckets. With the cfg for parallel enabled but with -Zthreads=1,
this looks like a slight regression in i-count and cycle counts (<0.1%).
With the parallel frontend at -Zthreads=4, this is an improvement (-5%
wall-time from 5.788 to 5.4688 on libcore) than our current Lock-based
approach, likely due to reducing the bouncing of the cache line holding
the lock. At -Zthreads=32 it's a huge improvement (-46%: 8.829 -> 4.7319
seconds).
