Leszek Swirski 76d684cc82 Reland "[serializer] Change deferring to use forward refs"
This is a reland of 81577a79e1

The revert was due to an missing dependency in the incremental build,
fixed in https://crrev.com/c/2400987.

Original change's description:
> [serializer] Change deferring to use forward refs
>
> Now that we have forward references, we can replace the body deferring
> mechanism with forward references to the entire pointer.
>
> This ensures that objects are always deserialized with their contents
> (aside from themselves maybe holding forward refs), and as a result we
> can simplify the CanBeDeferred conditions which encode the constraint
> that some objects either need immediately have contents, or cannot be
> deferred because their fields are changed temporarily (e.g. backing
> store refs).
>
> This also means that objects with length fields (e.g. arrays) will
> always have those length fields deserialized when the object is
> deserialized, which was not the case when the body could be deferred.
> This helps us in the plan to make GC possible during deserialization.
>
