This will allow us to reuse the scanning protocol with an arbitrary area
scanning function (replacing traceFormatScan) in order to implement
formatted object walking without an extra segment method.
Don't insist on scanning only grey segments: we want to be able to
reuse the scan protocol for walking, when the segments are black.
1. Avoid looping over two expressions in parallel when one makes more
sense (compilers can do strength reduction optimization: we don't
need to do it ourselves).
2. Introduce macro ITER_PARALLEL for iterating over two expressions in
parallel, to clarify the intention and explain the need for the
cast to void in the implementation.
3. Add macros SAC_LARGE_ITER and SAC_SMALL_ITER to reduce the amount
of code duplication in sac.c.
The -Wcomma option appears to be turned on automatically by Xcode
12.3, so it's a good idea for the MPS to build with the option, to
avoid unpleasant surprises when people update their Xcode.
The simplest way to suppress the warning is to cast the left hand side
of the comma operator to void.
Clang 10 turns on -Wimplicit-int-float-conversion, and on 64-bit
platforms this issues a warning that implicit conversions to double
from Size and unsigned long "may lose precision".
This commit adds casts to (double) for all such conversions. The loss
of precision is either impossible in practice (because a double can
represent all integers up to 2**53, which is about 9 petabytes, well
beyond the addressing capabilities for current CPUs), or else
acceptable, because we are accumulating an approximate quantity like
"collection work" or "fill size" (that has to cope with loss of
precision due in any case), or computing a threshold like the spare
commit limit where it is acceptable for it to be somewhat approximate.

MRG reference segments inherit from GCSeg (not MutatorSeg) and so don't have hardware barriers. Instead, the code implements software barriers by always using ArenaRead and ArenaWrite.
