This implements "deterministic" exception handling for Nim based on goto instead of setjmp. This means raising an exception is much cheaper than in C++'s table based implementations. Supports hard realtime systems. Default for --gc:arc and the C target because it's generally a good idea and arc is all about deterministic behavior.
Note: This implies that fatal runtime traps are not catchable anymore! This needs to be documented.
* first implementation of the =trace and =dispose hooks for the cycle collector
* a cycle collector for ARC: progress
* manual: the .acyclic pragma is a thing once again
* gcbench: adaptations for --gc:arc
* enable valgrind tests for the strutils tests
* testament: better valgrind support
* ARC refactoring: growable jumpstacks
* ARC cycle detector: non-recursive algorithm
* moved and renamed core/ files back to system/
* refactoring: --gc:arc vs --gc:orc since 'orc' is even more experimental and we want to ship --gc:arc soonish
* introduce temporary <//> for 'owned' to get this compile with 0.19
* make newTable[string, owned Node]() compile (but it crashes)
* make sink/owned parameters consistent
* make actiontable test compile again
* VM: support sytem.move; makes tests green
* mark user defined destructors with sfOverriden to simplify the logic
* refactoring in preparation to merge liftings and generic instantiations for destructors
* ast: introduce nkHiddenTryStmt for destructor generation in order to be able to optimize better the code later on
* renamed 'patterns' switch to 'trmacros' as it was totally misleading before
* destructors: introduce tfCheckedForDestructor flag in preparation of strict =destroy checking
* test for invalid/too late destructor introductions
* liftdestructors: make code robust for nimsuggest
* --newruntime works for hello world again
* newruntime: code generation for closures
