    Fix BZ 70297 - Evaluate a single EL function varargs argument once (#1130)
    
    When an EL function whose method is varargs was called with exactly one
    argument for the varargs parameter, AstFunction evaluated that argument
    twice: once to check whether it is already an array and once more for the
    value. An argument with side effects ran twice, the function received the
    result of the second evaluation, and an expensive argument cost double.
    
    Evaluate the argument once and use the value both for the array check and
    as the single varargs element. Calls with two or more varargs values and
    the single array argument case are unchanged.
    
    Adds a test that counts the evaluations of a method call used as the
    single varargs argument. The test reports two evaluations against the
    previous implementation.
