Commit dde164e968 decoupled incremental
marking from page sizes. This commit changes Ruby heap page sizes to
64KiB. Doing so will have several benefits:
1. We can use compaction on systems with 64KiB system page sizes (e.g.
PowerPC).
2. Larger page sizes will allow Variable Width Allocation to increase
slot sizes and embed larger objects.
3. Since commit 002fa28599, macOS has 64
KiB pages. Making page sizes 64 KiB will bring these systems to
parity.
I have attached some bechmark results below.
Discourse:
On Discourse, we saw much better p99 performance (e.g. for "categories"
it went from 214ms on master to 134ms on branch, for "home" it went
from 265ms to 251ms). We don’t see much change in p60, p75, and p90
performance. We also see a slight decrease in memory usage by 1.04x.

Master RSS: 368.2MB
railsbench:
On rails bench, we don’t see a big change in RPS or p99
performance. We don’t see a big difference in memory usage.
Branch RPS: 826.27
Master RPS: 824.85
Branch p99: 1.67
Master p99: 1.72
Branch RSS: 88.72MB
Master RSS: 88.48MB
liquid:
We don’t see a significant change in liquid performance.
Branch parse & render: 28.653 I/s
Master parse & render: 28.563 i/s
This commits implements size classes in the GC for the Variable Width
Allocation feature. Unless `USE_RVARGC` compile flag is set, only a
single size class is created, maintaining current behaviour. See the
redmine ticket for more details.

This commit removes T_PAYLOAD since the new VWA implementation no longer
requires T_PAYLOAD types.

rather than having to do this in a two step process:
1. heap_page obj
2. dump_page $2 (or whatever lldb variable heap_page set)
we can now just
dump_page_rvalue obj
Update the lldb script so it can mostly recover a Ruby stack trace from
a core file. It's still missing line numbers and dealing with CFUNCs,
but you use it like this:
```

Getting the main execution context is difficult (it is stored in a
thread local) so for now you must supply an ec and this will make a
backtrace
Show the size of String.
To see the whole contents even after NUL char:
```
(lldb) rp str
(const char [5]) $1 = "x"
(lldb) memory read -s1 --format x --count `sizeof($1)` -- &$1 0x1010457a8: 0x78 0x00 0x61 0x61 0x61
```
