```
tests: avoid loading 16 MiB onto the stack

Currently, Zig semantically loads an array as a temporary when indexing
it. This means it cannot be guaranteed that only the requested element
is loaded; in particular, our self-hosted backends do not elide the load
of the full array, so this test case was crashing on self-hosted.

```
