This is a batch of refactoring to remove some of the GC's global state, as we move towards CPU-local GC. - allocateLocal() now allocates large objects into the local nursery, rather than taking a global lock and allocating then in gen 0 step 0. - allocatePinned() was still allocating from global storage and taking a lock each time, now it uses local storage. (mallocForeignPtrBytes should be faster with -threaded). - We had a gen 0 step 0, distinct from the nurseries, which are stored in a separate nurseries[] array. This is slightly strange. I removed the g0s0 global that pointed to gen 0 step 0, and removed all uses of it. I think now we don't use gen 0 step 0 at all, except possibly when there is only one generation. Possibly more tidying up is needed here. - I removed the global allocate() function, and renamed allocateLocal() to allocate(). - the alloc_blocks global is gone. MAYBE_GC() and doYouWantToGC() now check the local nursery only.
