This makes `RBobject` `4B` larger on 32 bit systems
but simplifies the implementation a lot.

The `ractor_wakeup` function takes an optional `th` argument, so it can be NULL.
There is a macro call to RUBY_DEBUG_LOG that dereferences `th` without checking
if it's NULL first. To fix this, we never dereference `th` in this macro call.
If you catch an error that was raised from a file you required in
a ractor, that error did not have its belonging reset from the main
ractor to the current ractor, so you hit assertion errors in debug
mode.
The FL_PROMOTED flag was not copied when moving objects, causing assertions
to fail when an old object is moved:

Previously the object was used directly, which calls `to_s` if defined.
We should use rb_inspect to get a value suitable for display to the
programmer.
Rework ractors so that any ractor action (Ractor.receive, Ractor#send, Ractor.yield, Ractor#take,
Ractor.select) will operate on the thread that called the action. It will put that thread to sleep if
it's a blocking function and it needs to put it to sleep, and the awakening action (Ractor.yield,
Ractor#send) will wake up the blocked thread.
Before this change every blocking ractor action was associated with the ractor struct and its fields.
If a ractor called Ractor.receive, its wait status was wait_receiving, and when another ractor calls
r.send on it, it will look for that status in the ractor struct fields and wake it up. The problem was that
what if 2 threads call blocking ractor actions in the same ractor. Imagine if 1 thread has called Ractor.receive
and another r.take. Then, when a different ractor calls r.send on it, it doesn't know which ruby thread is associated
to which ractor action, so what ruby thread should it schedule? This change moves some fields onto the ruby thread
itself so that ruby threads are the ones that have ractor blocking statuses, and threads are then specifically scheduled
when unblocked.

And get rid of the `obj_to_id_tbl`
It's no longer needed, the `object_id` is now stored inline
in the object alongside instance variables.
We still need the inverse table in case `_id2ref` is invoked, but
we lazily build it by walking the heap if that happens.
The `object_id` concern is also no longer a GC implementation
concern, but a generic implementation.

Ivars will longer be the only thing stored inline
via shapes, so keeping the `iv_index` and `ivptr` names
would be confusing.
Instance variables won't be the only thing stored inline
via shapes, so keeping the `ivptr` name would be confusing.
`field` encompass anything that can be stored in a VALUE array.
Similarly, `gen_ivtbl` becomes `gen_fields_tbl`.
When doing a coroutine transfer from one thread to another, there's a
risk that the compiler will reuse an address from TLS before the
transfer to the new thread.
These VM assertions are all in places we would not otherwise be reading
from TLS, but using the value of `ec` or `cr` passed in. Switching these
to test against rb_current_ec_noinline() instead ensures there isn't an
optimization applied to how we read ruby_current_ec.
Currently it seems we were hitting this on LLVM 18 specifically, but I
don't know of any reason other versions wouldn't have the same issue.
Using `rb_obj_clone` introduce other problems, such as `initialize_*`
callbacks invocation in the context of the parent ractor.
So we can revert back to copy the content of the object slots,
but in a way that is aware of size pools.
In 307732ccee7f9f28f8422bab2f839da021d8cdec Ractors were changed to
explicitly run GC when the first non-main one was activated in order to
disable the transient heap. Theap no longer exists so I don't think we
need to do this.

`rb_obj_alloc(RBASIC_CLASS(obj))` will always allocate from the basic
40B pool, so if `obj` is larger than `40B`, we'll create a corrupted
object when we later copy the shape_id.
Instead we can use the same logic than ractor copy, which is
to use `rb_obj_clone`, and later ask the GC to free the original
object.
We then must turn it into a `T_OBJECT`, because otherwise
just changing its class to `RactorMoved` leaves a lot of
ways to keep using the object, e.g.:
```
a = [1, 2, 3]
Ractor.new{}.send(a, move: true)
[].concat(a) # Should raise, but wasn't.
```
If it turns out that `rb_obj_clone` isn't performant enough
for some uses, we can always have carefully crafted specialized
paths for the types that would benefit from it.
After a ractor is started (multi-ractor mode), any calls to
require_internal will hang the process due to deadlock. For example,
loading a new encoding will deadlock after a ractor starts.

So that it doesn't get included in the generated binaries for builds
that don't support loading shared GC modules
Co-Authored-By: Peter Zhu <peter@peterzhu.ca>
Many libraries should be loaded on the main ractor because of
setting constants with unshareable objects and so on.
This patch allows to call `requore` on non-main Ractors by
asking the main ractor to call `require` on it. The calling ractor
waits for the result of `require` from the main ractor.
If the `require` call failed with some reasons, an exception
objects will be deliverred from the main ractor to the calling ractor
if it is copy-able.
Same on `require_relative` and `require` by `autoload`.
Now `Ractor.new{pp obj}` works well (the first call of `pp` requires
`pp` library implicitly).
[Feature #20627]
RUBY_DEBUG enables ractor assertions, which sets up some space at the
end of each RVALUE to store the associated ractor ID. We need to make
sure the function that does this is visible to shared GC libraries.
This commit splits gc.c into two files:
- gc.c now only contains code not specific to Ruby GC. This includes
code to mark objects (which the GC implementation may choose not to
use) and wrappers for internal APIs that the implementation may need
to use (e.g. locking the VM).
- gc_impl.c now contains the implementation of Ruby's GC. This includes
marking, sweeping, compaction, and statistics. Most importantly,
gc_impl.c only uses public APIs in Ruby and a limited set of functions
exposed in gc.c. This allows us to build gc_impl.c independently of
Ruby and plug Ruby's GC into itself.
They were initially made frozen to avoid false positives for cases such
as:
str = str.dup if str.frozen?
But this may cause bugs and is generally confusing for users.

[Feature #20205]
As a path toward enabling frozen string literals by default in the future,
this commit introduce "chilled strings". From a user perspective chilled
strings pretend to be frozen, but on the first attempt to mutate them,
they lose their frozen status and emit a warning rather than to raise a
`FrozenError`.
Implementation wise, `rb_compile_option_struct.frozen_string_literal` is
no longer a boolean but a tri-state of `enabled/disabled/unset`.
When code is compiled with frozen string literals neither explictly enabled
or disabled, string literals are compiled with a new `putchilledstring`
instruction. This instruction is identical to `putstring` except it marks
the String with the `STR_CHILLED (FL_USER3)` and `FL_FREEZE` flags.
Chilled strings have the `FL_FREEZE` flag as to minimize the need to check
for chilled strings across the codebase, and to improve compatibility with
C extensions.
Notes:
- `String#freeze`: clears the chilled flag.
- `String#-@`: acts as if the string was mutable.
- `String#+@`: acts as if the string was mutable.
- `String#clone`: copies the chilled flag.

Currently, any postponed job triggered from a non-ruby thread gets sent
to the main thread, but if the main thread is sleeping it won't be
checking ints. Instead, we should try and interrupt running_ec if that's
possible, and only fall back to the main thread if it's not.
[Bug #20197]
rb_vm_main_ractor_ec was introduced to allow rb_postponed_job_* to work
when fired on non-Ruby threads, which have no EC set, and that is its
only use.
When RUBY_MN_THREADS=1 is set ractor->threads.running_ec is NULL when
the shared thread is sleeping. This instead grabs the EC directly from
the main thread which seems to always be set.

`Ractor::Selector` is not approved by Matz so remove it from
Ruby-level.
The implementation is used by `Ractor.select` so most of implementation
was remaind and calling `rb_init_ractor_selector()`, `Ractor::Selector`
will be defined. I will provide `ractor-selector` gem to try it.
On 32-bit systems, we must store the shape ID in the gen_ivtbl to not
lose the shape. If we directly store the ST table into the generic
ivar table, then we lose the shape. This makes it impossible to
determine the shape of the object and whether it is too complex or not.
This patch introduce M:N thread scheduler for Ractor system.
In general, M:N thread scheduler employs N native threads (OS threads)
to manage M user-level threads (Ruby threads in this case).
On the Ruby interpreter, 1 native thread is provided for 1 Ractor
and all Ruby threads are managed by the native thread.
From Ruby 1.9, the interpreter uses 1:1 thread scheduler which means
1 Ruby thread has 1 native thread. M:N scheduler change this strategy.
Because of compatibility issue (and stableness issue of the implementation)
main Ractor doesn't use M:N scheduler on default. On the other words,
threads on the main Ractor will be managed with 1:1 thread scheduler.
There are additional settings by environment variables:
`RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` enables M:N thread scheduler on the main ractor.
Note that non-main ractors use the M:N scheduler without this
configuration. With this configuration, single ractor applications
run threads on M:1 thread scheduler (green threads, user-level threads).
`RUBY_MAX_CPU=n` specifies maximum number of native threads for
M:N scheduler (default: 8).
This patch will be reverted soon if non-easy issues are found.
