`mrb_get_arg1()` raises `ArgumentError` if the method does not receive one
argument.
And replaces all `mrb_get_args(mrb, "o", &arg)` by the new function.
The binary sizes (gems are only `mruby-bin-mruby`) are reduced slightly in
my environment than before the introduction of new specifiers/modifiers
(5116789a) with this change.

BTW, I accidentally changed `tasks/toolchains/visualcpp.rake` at #4613,
so I put it back.
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'Struct.new(:a,:b).new[-3]'
#=> offset -1 too small for struct(size:2) (IndexError)
After this patch (same as Ruby):
$ bin/mruby -e 'Struct.new(:a,:b).new[-3]'
#=> offset -3 too small for struct(size:2) (IndexError)
The following branch condition is always true:
// mrbgems/mruby-struct/src/struct.c:187 in make_struct_define_accessors()
if (is_local_id(mrb, name) || is_const_id(mrb, name)) {
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> Struct::"A-"
After this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> NameError: identifier A- needs to be constant
Now the method tables (in classes/modules and caches) keeps C function
pointers without wrapping in `struct RProc` objects. For the sake of
portability, `mrb_method_t` is represented by the struct and union, but
if the most significant bit of the pointer is not used by the platform,
`mrb_method_t` should be packed in `uintptr_t` to reduce memory usage.
`MRB_METHOD_TABLE_INLINE` is turned on by default for linux.
It reduces the memory consumption and sometimes improve the
performance as well. For example, the consumed memory size
of `bench/bm_ao_render.rb` is reduced from 1.2GB to 1GB, and
its total execution time become 18.795 sec from 22.229 sec.
Dr Markus Kuhn published in 1999 an article [1] explaining in details
why we shouldn't use the ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation.
Backticks have been used most notably to produce nice-looking LaTeX
documents but it doesn't seem to be an issue on modern platforms and
for the oldest ones, there are workarounds as mentioned by Dr Kuhn.
