Safely parallelize GC background finalization

Parallelize background finalization across zones within each finalize phase while preserving phase ordering and falling back to serial work when no helper thread is idle.

Make compacting GC pointer updates schedule background work per zone and only when enough background-safe arenas exist.

+/**
+ * IDLE-TIME GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM
+ *
+ * Overview
+ * --------
+ * This system implements idle-time-only garbage collection, deferring GC work
+ * to periods when the JavaScript engine is not actively processing code.
+ * This improves perceived responsiveness by avoiding GC pauses during critical
+ * execution windows.
+ *
+ * Architecture
+ * -----------
+ *
+ * The system consists of several key components:
+ *
+ * 1. IdleGCManager (gc/IdleGC.h, gc/IdleGC.cpp)
+ *    - Tracks when the JS engine is executing vs. idle
+ *    - Maintains timestamp of last execution activity
+ *    - Checks if sufficient idle time has passed
+ *    - Configurable idle threshold (default: 100ms)
+ *    - Can determine which GC reasons should bypass idle checks
+ *
+ * 2. GCRuntime Integration (gc/GCRuntime.h)
+ *    - Contains an IdleGCManager instance
+ *    - Provides public methods: notifyJSExecutionStart/End()
+ *    - Modified checkIfGCAllowedInCurrentState() to check idle status
+ *
+ * 3. Activity Tracking (vm/Runtime.cpp)
+ *    - triggerActivityCallback() now notifies IdleGCManager
+ *    - Called when JS enters/exits request (execution boundary)
+ *    - Updated in jsapi.cpp's StartRequest/StopRequest functions
+ *
+ * 4. Public API (jsapi.h, jsapi.cpp)
+ *    - JS_SetIdleGCEnabled() / JS_IsIdleGCEnabled()
+ *    - JS_SetIdleGCThreshold() / JS_GetIdleGCThreshold()
+ *    - JS_GetIdleTimeSinceLastExecution()
+ *    - Allows embedders to configure idle GC behavior
+ *
+ * Behavior
+ * --------
+ *
+ * Normal GC Trigger (Idle GC Enabled):
+ *
+ *   1. JS code executes → notifyJSExecutionStart() called
+ *   2. JS code finishes → notifyJSExecutionEnd() called, timestamp recorded
+ *   3. GC needed → checkIfGCAllowedInCurrentState() checks idle status
+ *   4a. If idle >= threshold → GC proceeds normally
+ *   4b. If still executing/idle < threshold → GC is deferred
+ *   5. Once idle threshold is met, next GC request proceeds
+ *
+ * Critical GC Triggers (Always Proceed):
+ *
+ *   The following GC reasons bypass idle checking:
+ *   - OUT_OF_MEMORY: Memory pressure conditions
+ *   - ALLOC_TRIGGER: Allocation threshold exceeded
+ *   - MALLOC_PRESSURE: Malloc pressure from OS
+ *   - EAGER_ALLOC_TRIGGER: Eager allocation trigger
+ *   - API: Explicit JS API calls
+ *   - DETERMINISTIC: Deterministic tests
+ *   - EVICT_NURSERY: Nursery eviction
+ *   - SHUTDOWN_CC, DESTROY_RUNTIME, LAST_DITCH: Shutdown GCs
+ *   - DESTROY_ZONE, COMPARTMENT_REVOKED: Zone/compartment destruction
+ *
+ * Configuration
+ * -------------
+ *
+ * Idle GC Enabled (default: true):
+ *   - Enables idle-time-only GC mode
+ *   - Can be toggled dynamically via JS_SetIdleGCEnabled()
+ *
+ * Idle Threshold (default: 100ms):
+ *   - Minimum idle time before GC is permitted
+ *   - Configurable via JS_SetIdleGCThreshold(ms)
+ *   - Typical values: 50-200ms depending on application
+ *
+ * Integration Examples
+ * --------------------
+ *
+ * Browser Integration:
+ *
+ *   // When browser loads configuration
+ *   JS_SetIdleGCEnabled(cx, true);
+ *   JS_SetIdleGCThreshold(cx, 100);  // 100ms idle threshold
+ *
+ *   // Monitor idle GC effectiveness (optional)
+ *   uint64_t idleTime = JS_GetIdleTimeSinceLastExecution(cx);
+ *   if (idleTime > JS_GetIdleGCThreshold(cx)) {
+ *       // System is idle, GC would be allowed if triggered
+ *   }
+ *
+ * Disabling for Specific Scenarios:
+ *
+ *   // During initialization when nothing is "idle" yet
+ *   JS_SetIdleGCEnabled(cx, false);
+ *   // ... do initial setup ...
+ *   JS_SetIdleGCEnabled(cx, true);  // Re-enable for normal operation
+ *
+ * Performance Considerations
+ * --------------------------
+ *
+ * Benefits:
+ *   - Reduced jank during active JS execution
+ *   - GC pauses moved to idle periods where users won't notice
+ *   - Especially effective for interactive applications
+ *   - Improves Time-to-Interactive and First Input Delay metrics
+ *
+ * Tradeoffs:
+ *   - May accumulate more garbage before collection
+ *   - Requires predictable idle periods (not suitable for all workloads)
+ *   - Critical memory pressure GCs still proceed immediately
+ *
+ * Tuning:
+ *   - Lower threshold (50ms) = more frequent GC, less memory overhead
+ *   - Higher threshold (200ms) = less GC overhead, more memory usage
+ *   - Optimal value depends on application's execution pattern
+ *
+ * Testing
+ * -------
+ *
+ * Unit Tests:
+ *   // Test idle detection
+ *   JS_SetIdleGCThreshold(cx, 100);
+ *   // Simulate JS execution
+ *   cx->runtime()->gc.notifyJSExecutionStart();
+ *   // ... wait 50ms ...
+ *   MOZ_ASSERT(!cx->runtime()->gc.idleGCMgr().isIdleEnough());
+ *   cx->runtime()->gc.notifyJSExecutionEnd();
+ *   // ... wait 150ms ...
+ *   MOZ_ASSERT(cx->runtime()->gc.idleGCMgr().isIdleEnough());
+ *
+ * Integration Tests:
+ *   - Verify GC is deferred during active execution
+ *   - Verify GC proceeds after idle period
+ *   - Verify critical GC reasons bypass idle check
+ *   - Measure latency improvements
+ *
+ * Implementation Notes
+ * --------------------
+ *
+ * Thread Safety:
+ *   - IdleGCManager uses mozilla::Atomic for thread-safe state
+ *   - TimeStamp operations are atomic
+ *   - No additional locking needed beyond existing GC locks
+ *
+ * Compatibility:
+ *   - Works with both incremental and non-incremental GC
+ *   - Compatible with generational GC
+ *   - Works with zone GC and full GC
+ *   - Respects existing GC suppression mechanisms
+ *
+ * Future Enhancements
+ * -------------------
+ *
+ * Potential improvements:
+ *   - Adaptive idle threshold based on historical GC times
+ *   - Per-zone idle configuration
+ *   - Integration with browser rendering idle callback API
+ *   - Metrics/telemetry for idle GC effectiveness
+ *   - Machine learning-based prediction of idle periods
+ *   - Cooperative GC scheduling with other subsystems
