Curried and lambda function invocation should be both fast (#3979)
Benchmark to compare _curried and lambda_ based function invocations and a fix to make _curried_ invocation (at least) as fast as the _lambda_ one. Allows us to use _curried invocations_ in standard library again without loosing any speed.

# Important Notes
Execute as:
```
sbt:runtime> benchOnly CurriedFunctionBenchmarks
```
Prior to subsequent bugfixes in this PR the benchmark results were:
- `averageCurried` runs in 0.290 ms
- `averageLambda` runs in 0.122 ms

e.g. _curried invocations_ is more than twice slow. That confirms our findings from the `Array_Proxy` vector benchmarks. The problem is that _function object is not compilation final_. After fixing it we have following results:
- `averageCurried` runs in 0.102 ms
- `averageLambda` runs in 0.111 ms

e.g. both operations are of similar complexity.
