mlippautz 8f0fd8c037 [heap] Parallel newspace evacuation, semispace copy, and compaction \o/
All parallelism can be turned off using --predictable, or --noparallel-compaction.

This patch completely parallelizes
 - semispace copy: from space -> to space (within newspace)
 - newspace evacuation: newspace -> oldspace
 - oldspace compaction: oldspace -> oldspace

Previously newspace has been handled sequentially (semispace copy, newspace
evacuation) before compacting oldspace in parallel. However, on a high level
there are no dependencies between those two actions, hence we parallelize them
altogether. We base the number of evacuation tasks on the overall set of
to-be-processed pages (newspace + oldspace compaction pages).

Some low-level details:
 - The hard cap on number of tasks has been lifted
 - We cache store buffer entries locally before merging them back into the global
   StoreBuffer in a finalization phase.
 - We cache AllocationSite operations locally before merging them back into the
   global pretenuring storage in a finalization phase.
 - AllocationSite might be compacted while they would be needed for newspace
   evacuation. To mitigate any problems we defer checking allocation sites for
   newspace till merging locally buffered data.
