The type information in reflect.Type and the GC programs is now 1 bit per word, down from 2 bits. The in-memory unrolled type bitmap representation are now 1 bit per word, down from 4 bits. The conversion from the unrolled (now 1-bit) bitmap to the heap bitmap (still 4-bit) is not optimized. A followup CL will work on that, after the heap bitmap has been converted to 2-bit. The typeDead optimization, in which a special value denotes that there are no more pointers anywhere in the object, is lost in this CL. A followup CL will bring it back in the final form of heapBitsSetType.
