Details

For GenerationalGC and CompactingGC we will need the ability to update locations inside of the objects that we are tracing during GC. To do this, the tracer callback needs to take a pointer to the memory that is pointing to the held thing (rather than to the held thing directly). This will allow us to update this location if the targeted object has moved.

I think with the removal of JS_CallGenericTracer, we are good here.
