Implement the design described in:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v4Oqa0WwHunqlb8C3ObL_uNQw3DfSY-ztoA-4wWbKcg/pub
Summary of the changes:
GC uses "2-bits per word" pointer type info embed directly into bitmap.
Scanning of stacks/data/heap is unified.
The old spans types go away.
Compiler generates "sparse" 4-bits type info for GC (directly for GC bitmap).
Linker generates "dense" 2-bits type info for data/bss (the same as stacks use).
Summary of results:
-1680 lines of code total (-1000+ in mgc0.c only)
-25% memory consumption
-3-7% binary size
-15% GC pause reduction
-7% run time reduction

Currently lots of sys allocations are not accounted in any of XxxSys,
including GC bitmap, spans table, GC roots blocks, GC finalizer blocks,
iface table, netpoll descriptors and more. Up to ~20% can unaccounted.
This change introduces 2 new stats: GCSys and OtherSys for GC metadata
and all other misc allocations, respectively.
Also ensures that all XxxSys indeed sum up to Sys. All sys memory allocation
functions require the stat for accounting, so that it's impossible to miss something.
Also fix updating of mcache_sys/inuse, they were not updated after deallocation.

Allocs of size 16 can bypass atomic set of the allocated bit, while allocs of size 8 can not.
Allocs with and w/o type info hit different paths inside of malloc.
