mmc: only serialize root-tracing if there are pinned roots

Explicitly support immediate values
...
Because we have to deref edges ourselves, as part of generational
marking, we need to ignore edges that don't point to heap objects.

Switch mmc to field-logging write barrier
...
Instead of the card table, use metadata bytes for field-logging. More
precision should lead to less work during the pause.

Fix ephemerons test for mmc
...
Change to avoid detecting OOM based on no allocation since last GC, if
the collection was explicitly triggered by the user.

Add field-logging write barrier (fast path only)
...
Add a new kind of write barrier, one which has a bit per field; the
mutator that sets the bit will need to add the field's location (the
edge) to a remembered set. Here we just have the fast-path
implementation.

Fix an ABA problem in the nofl space
...
We use Treiber stacks to represent sets of blocks: blocks to sweep, full
blocks, and so on. This is fine as long as we are only adding to or
only removing from those sets, but as soon as we have concurrent add and
remove, we need to avoid the ABA problem.
Concurrent add and remove occurs for partly-full blocks, which are both
acquired and released by mutators; empty blocks, which can be added to
by heap growth at the same time as the mutator acquires them; and the
paged-out queue, which is also concurrent with heap growth/shrinkage.

MMC and PCC defer actual page-out operations to background thread
...
Should avoid excessive VM traffic when allocating large objects, or when
the adaptive heap sizer is on and we see frequent expansions and
resizes.

Reorder events in event listener; refactors to mmc and pcc

In GC, request mutators to stop before doing anything else; changes the
order of the event listener interface. Also, refactor mmc to look more
like pcc.

MMC marks roots in parallel during the pause, not while stopping
...
Following the analysis in
https://wingolog.org/archives/2024/09/06/on-taking-advantage-of-ragged-stops ,
we simplify MMC by traversing roots only during the pause. This lets us
use gc_tracer parallel root-tracing.
