VTables are taking quite some space in the data segments of libxul, and we should be able to pack these to save this space. This would make libxul slightly lighter, thus improving cold startup times on desktop and even on android, where anything making libxul lighter saves time by reducing the amount of data to uncompress.

It's probably still worth doing, but low priority.
