[dev.garbage] runtime: mark/allocation helper functions

The gcmarkBits is a bit vector used by the GC to mark
reachable objects. Once a GC cycle is complete the gcmarkBits
swap places with the allocBits. allocBits is then used directly
by malloc to locate free objects, thus avoiding the
construction of a linked free list. This CL introduces a set
of helper functions for manipulating gcmarkBits and allocBits
that will be used by later CLs to realize the actual
algorithm. Minimal attempts have been made to optimize these
helper routines.
