mesh-normal-scalar correctly fills sequential values in the output for
triangle cone function, but mesh-normal-vector accidentally reuses the
loop index, which results in writes to every third index of the array
(1, 4, etc.).

This is both slower (as the table turns into a hash map), and incorrect,
especially as we have a scalar version of the benchmark that does the
right thing.

Note: there's a bunch of inefficiencies in the benchmark code that I
have not fixed (around field access mostly, e.g. writing to `v.n` and
then immediately reading it again). These are not ideal for performance,
but they can be valuable to keep as is because this redundancy is common
in real-world code, and it would be nice to see codegen optimizations
eliminating most of that overhead. This one, however, is a straight up
bug, and sparse arrays should not really be the thing this benchmark
hits.
