[api] Inline ProtoSize::varint fast path for hot loop performance

Split ProtoSize::varint() into an always-inlined fast path (value < 128)
and a noinline slow path, eliminating indirect function calls on the BLE
advertisement encode hot path. Also force-inline calc_uint32() and
calc_length() so the compiler fully inlines size calculations per
advertisement instead of emitting out-of-line calls.

Verified via Xtensa disassembly: eliminates ~80 indirect function calls
per 16-advertisement batch flush (3 calc + varint per advertisement).
Total hot path code reduced from 24 to 21 functions.
