The stack barrier code will need a bookkeeping structure to keep track of the overwritten return PCs. This commit introduces and allocates this structure, but does not yet use the structure. We don't want to allocate space for this structure during garbage collection, so this commit allocates it along with the allocation of the corresponding stack. However, we can't do a regular allocation in newstack because mallocgc may itself grow the stack (which would lead to a recursive allocation). Hence, this commit makes the bookkeeping structure part of the stack allocation itself by stealing the necessary space from the top of the stack allocation. Since the size of this bookkeeping structure is logarithmic in the size of the stack, this has minimal impact on stack behavior.
