The previous approach inlined all 3 API-level branches into a single
fieldMulReduce method (~600 DEX instructions). ART's register allocator
produces suboptimal code for such large methods, causing stack spills
that negate the benefit of eliminating wrapper calls.
Split each API-level path into its own private function (~200 DEX
instructions each). ART JIT-compiles only the hot one (fieldMulApi35
on API 35+) with full optimization, while the tiny dispatch function
(fieldMulReduce) is easily devirtualized and inlined.
