WIP/NFC: create GC interface for third-party GCs (#55256) Prelude to the MMTk integration. Creates an interface header specifying the functions that a third-party GC must implement to plug into Julia, and also splits the stock Julia GC implementation into a separate file `gc-stock.c`. In the future, we'll include a few pre-processor guards to ensure some of these files are not compiled if MMTk is enabled. A WIP design document describing the rationale behind the interface and the plan for MMTk integration should be in this [design document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v0jtSrIpdEDNOxj5S9g1jPqSpuAkNWhr_T8ToFC9RLI/edit) (feedback is welcome at this stage!). ## TODO - [x] Ensure functions in `gc-interface.h` are only declared in this header. - [x] Add allocation fast-path & codegen write-barriers into the interface.
