Reduce number of allocations in AutoStopwatch

This patch fixes two related issues.
1. The AutoStopwatch uses a stack-allocated `mozilla::Vector` to
communicate with its callback during each compartment switch.
This vector was designed to allow its contents to be stack-allocated
but they turned out to be accidentally heap-allocated.

2. During each tick, the stopwatch fills a vector `recentGroups_`.
This vector always started with minimal capacity and had to grow
repeatedly as groups were added, causing repeated reallocations.
This patch preallocates `recentGroups_` to have the same capacity as the
previous tick. We expect that this should eventually reach a stable size
that closely matches the actual needs of the process.
