The first word of an interface is a pointer, but for the purposes
of GC we don't need to treat it as such.
1. If it is a non-empty interface, the pointer points to an itab
which is always in persistentalloc space.
2. If it is an empty interface, the pointer points to a _type.
a. If it is a compile-time-allocated type, it points into
the read-only data section.
b. If it is a reflect-allocated type, it points into the Go heap.
Reflect is responsible for keeping a reference to
the underlying type so it won't be GCd.
If we ever have a moving GC, we need to change this for 2b (as
well as scan itabs to update their itab._type fields).
Write barriers on the first word of interfaces have already been removed.
