Opening this draft PR to keep track of the changes to support moving immix. So far they are:
(1) pinning objects that are hashed. Note that Julia hashes on the address of the object, which means that we might get errors if we move an object that has been hashed.
(2) pinning buffer objects: these can be shared between objects, and there are some invariants that should be enforced (if a->is_shared is set to true, I believe we cannot move the buffer), to be on the safe side, we're pinning these objects.
(3) pinning types and typenames: these are used when scanning objects, and not traced from the objects as they are stored in the objects' header.
For (1), until we implement address space hashing, we need to make sure these objects do not move. For (2) and (3), we should be simply allocate these objects in a non-moving space.
There are also small bug fixes. Eg, Julia does not put a reference on the shadow stack, because it comes from a global root. In that case, if that object moves, the pointer to it is not updated. Finally I've also added code to clear the stack of dead tasks, so I have removed the static attribute from free_stack and _jl_free_stack in order to reuse these functions from MMTk.

NB: merge after mmtk/mmtk-core#897 in order to support transitively pinned roots.

It's possible for PiNodes to effectively imply statically the condition
of a Core.ifelse. For example:
```julia
    23 ─ %60  = Core.ifelse(%47, false, true)::Bool
    │    %61  = Core.ifelse(%47, %58, false)::Union{Missing, Bool}
    25 ─        goto #27 if not %60
    26 ─ %65  = π (%61, Bool)
    └───        ...
```

In basic block #26, the PiNode gives us enough information to conclude
that `%47 === false` if control flow reaches that point. The previous
code incorrectly assumed that this kind of pruning would only be done
for PhiNodes.

For mmtk/mmtk-julia#104, probably we will introduce jl_gc_pin or something like that. But it is fine for now.

This PR adds support for (partially) moving objects in Julia and should
be merged with mmtk/julia#27 and
mmtk/mmtk-core#897.
- It adds support for pinning/unpinning objects and checking if an
object is pinned (the implementation uses a pin bit).
(`mmtk_pin_object`, `mmtk_unpin_object` and `mmtk_is_pinned`)
- It adds support for providing transitively pinned (`tpinned`) roots .
- It implements the `copy` function in `object_model.rs`. Note that
arrays with inlined data must be treated specially, as their `a->data`
pointer needs to be updated after copying.
- It uses Julia's GC bits to store forwarding information and the
object's header to store the forwarding pointer.
- Currently, all stack roots are transitively pinned. Note that we also
need to traverse the `tls->live_tasks` to make sure that any stack root
from these tasks are transitively pinned.
- `scan_julia_object` had to be adapted to cover a few corner cases:
- when an array object contains a pointer to the owner of the data,
`a->data` needs to be updated in case the owner moves.
- the `using` field inside a `jl_module_t` may also be inlined inside
the module, and if that's the case, we need to make sure that field is
updated if the module moves.
- when marking finalizers, traversing the list of malloced arrays, and
the list of live tasks at the end of GC, we need to updated these lists
with objects that have possibly been moved.
- Added a few debug assertions to capture scanning of misaligned objects
and roots.

NB: I've only tested moving immix; sticky immix is still non-moving.
