codegen: split gc roots from other bits on stack (#55767) In order to help avoid memory provenance issues, and better utilize stack space (somewhat), and use FCA less, change the preferred representation of an immutable object to be a pair of `<packed-data,roots>` values. This packing requires some care at the boundaries and if the expected field alignment exceeds that of a pointer. The change is expected to eventually make codegen more flexible at representing unions of values with both bits and pointer regions. Eventually we can also have someone improve the late-gc-lowering pass to take advantage of this increased information accuracy, but currently it will not be any better than before at laying out the frame.
