This bug is for a bunch of refactoring patches written in preparation for bug 1911537.

Attachment: Bug 1912068 - Part 1: Move NativeObject::isInWholeCellBuffer implementation to StoreBuffer r?jandem

gc/Heap-inl.h contains definitions that should be internal to the GC. This
change removes the need to inlude it in vm/NativeObject-inl.h which greatly
reduces the places it is included from.

Attachment: Bug 1912068 - Part 2: Remove duplicate methods for checking mark bits r?jandem

Currently we have two different definitons for several methods that check mark
bits, one set being in the exported HeapAPI.j header and one set in gc/Heap.h.

This patch consolidates on a single definition for the ones that need to be
public and moves the remainder from gc/Heap.h (which gets included everywhere)
to the mostly internal gc/Heap-inl.h.

This also adds a copyFrom method.

Attachment: Bug 1912068 - Part 3: Remove unused size parameter from tenured cell allocation methods r?jandem

This removes an unused parameter from CellAllocator::TryNewTenuredCell and
AllocTenuredCell.

Comment 4

[Jon Coppeard (:jonco)]

Attachment: Bug 1912068 - Part 4: Remove unnecessary inclusion of gc/Zone.h r?jandem

This greatly cuts down the number of files that include this header.

Comment 5

[Jon Coppeard (:jonco)]

Attachment: Bug 1912068 - Part 5: Make more Arena fields private r?jandem

This makes the zone and allocKind fields private and moves some methods that
release arenas into GCRuntime.

The Arena::next field is accessed by a bunch of different classes to put arenas
on various linked lists, so I left this public.
