ff3fa1b32dba4448bed45282b1038a4f8e9c23dc runtime: make the GC bitmap a byte array
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.
