Gordon Henriksen db4f51e1b9 With this patch, the LowerGC transformation becomes the
ShadowStackCollector, which additionally has reduced overhead with
no sacrifice in portability.

Considering a function @fun with 8 loop-local roots,
ShadowStackCollector introduces the following overhead
(x86):

; shadowstack prologue
        movl    L_llvm_gc_root_chain$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
        movl    (%eax), %ecx
        movl    $___gc_fun, 20(%esp)
        movl    $0, 24(%esp)
        movl    $0, 28(%esp)
        movl    $0, 32(%esp)
        movl    $0, 36(%esp)
        movl    $0, 40(%esp)
        movl    $0, 44(%esp)
        movl    $0, 48(%esp)
        movl    $0, 52(%esp)
        movl    %ecx, 16(%esp)
        leal    16(%esp), %ecx
        movl    %ecx, (%eax)

; shadowstack loop overhead
        (none)

; shadowstack epilogue
        movl    48(%esp), %edx
        movl    %edx, (%ecx)

; shadowstack metadata
        .align  3
___gc_fun:                              # __gc_fun
        .long   8
        .space  4

In comparison to LowerGC:

; lowergc prologue
        movl    L_llvm_gc_root_chain$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
        movl    (%eax), %ecx
        movl    %ecx, 48(%esp)
        movl    $8, 52(%esp)
        movl    $0, 60(%esp)
        movl    $0, 56(%esp)
        movl    $0, 68(%esp)
        movl    $0, 64(%esp)
        movl    $0, 76(%esp)
        movl    $0, 72(%esp)
        movl    $0, 84(%esp)
        movl    $0, 80(%esp)
        movl    $0, 92(%esp)
        movl    $0, 88(%esp)
        movl    $0, 100(%esp)
        movl    $0, 96(%esp)
        movl    $0, 108(%esp)
        movl    $0, 104(%esp)
        movl    $0, 116(%esp)
        movl    $0, 112(%esp)

; lowergc loop overhead

        movl    %eax, 56(%esp)
