    Added a generational garbage collector.
    
    The collector is reliable but fairly untuned as yet.  It works with an
    arbitrary number of generations: use +RTS -G<gens> to change the
    number of generations used (default 2).
    
    Stats: +RTS -Sstderr is quite useful, but to really see what's going
    on compile the RTS with -DDEBUG and use +RTS -D32.
    
    ARR_PTRS removed - it wasn't used anywhere.
    
    Sanity checking improved:
    	- free blocks are now spammed when sanity checking is turned on
    	- a check for leaking blocks is performed after each GC.
