Implements incremental cyclic GC.
Instead of traversing one generation on each collection, we traverse the young generation and the oldest part of the old generation. By traversing the old generation a chunk at a time, we keep pause times down a lot.
See faster-cpython/ideas#613 for the idea and algorithm.
