This is consistent with the other unoptimized ways.

The nonmoving way finalizes things in a different order.

The nonmoving collector doesn't support -G1

The debugged RTS initializes the heap with 0xaa, which breaks the
(admittedly rather fragile) assumption that uninitialized fields are set
to 0x00:
```
Wrong exit code for heap_all(nonmoving)(expected 0 , actual 1 )
Stderr ( heap_all ):
heap_all: user error (assertClosuresEq: Closures do not match
Expected: FunClosure {info = StgInfoTable {entry = Nothing, ptrs = 0, nptrs = 1, tipe = FUN_0_1, srtlen = 0, code = Nothing}, ptrArgs = [], dataArgs = [0]}
Actual:   FunClosure {info = StgInfoTable {entry = Nothing, ptrs = 0, nptrs = 1, tipe = FUN_0_1, srtlen = 1032832, code = Nothing}, ptrArgs = [], dataArgs = [12297829382473034410]}

CallStack (from HasCallStack):
  assertClosuresEq, called at heap_all.hs:230:9 in main:Main
)
```

The nonmoving GC doesn't support `+RTS -G1`, which this test insists on.

This uses the nonmoving collector when compiling the testcases.

Flush the update remembered set. The goal here is to flush periodically to
ensure that we don't end up with a thread who marks their stack on their
local update remembered set and doesn't flush until the nonmoving sync
period as this would result in a large fraction of the heap being marked
during the sync pause.

Previously we would perform a preparatory moving collection, resulting
in many things being added to the mark queue. When we finished with this
we would realize in nonmovingCollect that there was already a collection
running, in which case we would simply not run the nonmoving collector.

However, it was very easy to end up in a "treadmilling" situation: all
subsequent GC following the first failed major GC would be scheduled as
major GCs. Consequently we would continuously feed the concurrent
collector with more mark queue entries and it would never finish.

This patch aborts the major collection far earlier, meaning that we
avoid adding nonmoving objects to the mark queue and allowing the
concurrent collector to finish.

Previously we would look at the segment header to determine the block
size despite the fact that we already had the block size at hand.

This improved overall runtime on nofib's constraints test by nearly 10%.

Ensure that the bitmap of the segmentt that we will clear next is in
cache by the time we reach it.

Use memchr instead of a open-coded loop. This is nearly twice as fast in
a synthetic benchmark.

This shortens MarkQueueEntry by 30% (one word)

Perf showed that the this single div was capturing up to 10% of samples
in nonmovingMark. However, the overwhelming majority of cases is looking
at small block sizes. These cases we can easily compute explicitly,
allowing the compiler to turn the division into a significantly more
efficient division-by-constant.

While the increase in source code looks scary, this all optimises down
to very nice looking assembler. At this point the only remaining
hotspots in nonmovingBlockCount are due to memory access.

This commit does two things:

 * Allow aging of objects during the preparatory minor GC
 * Refactor handling of static objects to avoid the use of a hashtable

Otherwise the census is unsafe when mutators are running due to
concurrent mutation.
