runtime: remove unused prefetch functions
The only non test user of the assembler prefetch functions is the
heapBits.prefetch function which is itself unused.
The runtime prefetch functions have no functionality on most platforms
and are not inlineable since they are written in assembler. The function
call overhead eliminates the performance gains that could be achieved with
prefetching and would degrade performance for platforms where the functions
are no-ops.
If prefetch functions are needed back again later they can be improved
by avoiding the function call overhead and implementing them as intrinsics.
