Stackalloc and Spans

Allocating memory on the heap can slow a program down by creating work for the .NET garbage collector. In C# we can improve performance by using the stack instead.

Topics include:
- Referencing contiguous memory with Span and ReadOnlySpan
- Allocating on the stack with stackalloc
- Writing high performance methods with zero heap allocation
- Avoiding the need for unsafe code
- Fast text parsing
