Use boost small vectors instead of VLAs in the primops

Browse source 
VLAs are a dangerous feature, and their usage triggers an undefined
behavior since theire size can be zero in some cases.
So replace them with `boost::small_vector`s which fit the same goal but
are safer.

It's also incidentally consistently 1% faster on the benchmarks.
