We frequently make branches that only have one target but we used to
always allocate space for two branch targets. This patch moves all the
information a branch target has into a struct and refer to them using
Option<Box>, this way when the second branch target is not
present it only takes 8 bytes.
Retained heap size on railsbench went from 16.17 MiB to 14.57 MiB, a
ratio of about 1.1.
