This commit attempts an optimization that switches a version's `release`
field over to a `smallvec` optimization. The idea is that most versions
are very small and can be stored inline.
Interestingly, I was unable to observe any obvious benefit:
$ hyperfine \

1.01 ± 0.04 times faster than './target/profiling/puffin-dev-smallvec-release resolve-many --cache-dir cache-docker-no-build --no-build pypi_top_8k_flat.txt --limit 1000 2> /dev/null'
My hypothesis is that because of an earlier commit that switched the
global allocator to jemalloc, the cost of allocation had precipitously
decreased. To the point that the reduction in allocs from the smallvec
becomes a wash. To test my hypothesis, I dropped the jemalloc commit and
measured the perf of the smallvec optimization against main:
$ hyperfine \
"./target/profiling/puffin-dev-main resolve-many --cache-dir cache-docker-no-build --no-build pypi_top_8k_flat.txt --limit 1000 2> /dev/null" \

Fiddlesticks. Even when allocation is (presumably) more expensive, the
smallvec optimization didn't help. This suggests something is off about
my mental model of the code. So there are more avenues to explore here!
