Feature #15010: Reduce allocation for rest parameters

----------------------------------------
Currently multiple arrays are allocated while making a call to method with rest parameter.

E.g.
~~~
def rest_method(*args) #-> This will create 2 arrays
end

def post_method(*args,last) #-> This will create 3 arrays
end
~~~

Applying following set of changes will reduce creation of array to 1
