    runtime: make the GC bitmap a byte array · ff3fa1b3
    Dmitriy Vyukov authored
    Half the code in the garbage collector accesses the bitmap
    as an array of bytes instead of as an array of uintptrs.
    This is tricky to do correctly in a portable fashion,
    it breaks on big-endian systems.
    Make the bitmap a byte array.
    Simplifies markallocated, scanblock and span sweep along the way,
    as we don't need to recalculate bitmap position for each word.
