If we try to use GET_PAGE_HEADER, it can trigger the read barrier. If we
try to align on the slot then we end up unlocking the heap page of a
lower memory address.
We have name fragmentation for this feature, including "shared GC",
"modular GC", and "external GC". This commit standardizes the feature
name to "modular GC" and the implementation to "GC library".
Let there be rooms for each GC implementations how to handle multi
threaded situations. They can be totally reentrant, or can have
their own mutex, or can rely on rb_thread_call_with_gvl.
In any ways the allocator (has been, but now officially is)
expected to run properly without a GVL. This means there need be
a way for them to inform the interpreter about their allocation
failures, without relying on raising exceptions.
Let them do so by returning NULL.
