Optimize function calls by reducing inherit vars heap allocations and copies

* Convert `function_get_inherit_vars()` to return a reference to the
  (possibly) existing map, rather than a copy;
* Preallocate and reuse a static (read-only) map for the (very) common
  case of no inherited vars;
* Pass references to the inherit vars map around thereafter, never
  triggering the map copy (or even move) constructor.

NB: If it turns out the reference is unsafe, we can switch the inherit vars
to be a shared_ptr and return that instead.
