Rokas Kupstys c3d1b732d6 Reworked gc support for coroutines. Nim now bootstraps with -d:nimCoroutines
Added gc test to coro.nim
Lots of misc improvements and comments in coro.nim

## Nim coroutines implementation supports several context switching methods:
## ucontext: available on unix and alike (default)
## setjmp: available on unix and alike (x86/64 only)
## Fibers: available and required on windows.
##
## -d:nimCoroutines Required to build this module.
## -d:nimCoroutinesUcontext Use ucontext backend.
## -d:nimCoroutinesSetjmp Use setjmp backend.
## -d:nimCoroutinesSetjmpBundled Use bundled setjmp implementation.
