runtime: detect and report zombie slots during sweeping

A zombie slot is a slot that is marked, but isn't allocated. This can
indicate a bug in the GC, or a bad use of unsafe.Pointer. Currently,
the sweeper has best-effort detection for zombie slots: if there are
more marked slots than allocated slots, then there must have been a
zombie slot. However, this is imprecise since it only compares totals
and it reports almost no information that may be helpful to debug the
issue.

Add a precise check that compares the mark and allocation bitmaps and
reports detailed information if it detects a zombie slot.

No appreciable effect on performance as measured by the sweet
benchmarks:
