* hash.c, internal.h: support theap for small Hash.
Introduce RHASH_ARRAY (li_table) besides st_table and small Hash
(<=8 entries) are managed by an array data structure.
This array data can be managed by theap.
If st_table is needed, then converting array data to st_table data.
For st_table using code, we prepare "stlike" APIs which accepts hash value
and are very similar to st_ APIs.
This work is based on the GSoC achievement

* variable.c: now instance variable space has theap supports.
obj_ivar_heap_alloc() tries to acquire memory from theap.
* debug_counter.h: add some counters for theap.

* transient_heap.c, transient_heap.h: implement TransientHeap (theap).
theap is designed for Ruby's object system. theap is like Eden heap
on generational GC terminology. theap allocation is very fast because
it only needs to bump up pointer and deallocation is also fast because
we don't do anything. However we need to evacuate (Copy GC terminology)
if theap memory is long-lived. Evacuation logic is needed for each type.
See [Bug #14858] for details.
* array.c: Now, theap for T_ARRAY is supported.
ary_heap_alloc() tries to allocate memory area from theap. If this trial
sccesses, this array has theap ptr and RARRAY_TRANSIENT_FLAG is turned on.
We don't need to free theap ptr.
* ruby.h: RARRAY_CONST_PTR() returns malloc'ed memory area. It menas that
if ary is allocated at theap, force evacuation to malloc'ed memory.
It makes programs slow, but very compatible with current code because
theap memory can be evacuated (theap memory will be recycled).
If you want to get transient heap ptr, use RARRAY_CONST_PTR_TRANSIENT()
instead of RARRAY_CONST_PTR(). If you can't understand when evacuation
will occur, use RARRAY_CONST_PTR().
