`__LINE__` was managed by `NODE_LIT` with `Integer` object.
This commit introduces `NODE_LINE` so that
1. `__LINE__` is detectable from AST Node
2. Reduce dependency ruby object
This is a C API for extensions to resolve and get function symbols of other extensions.
Extensions can check the expected symbol is correctly loaded and accessible, and
use it if it is available.
Otherwise, extensions can raise their own error to guide users to setup their
environments correctly and what's missing.
Our current implementation of rb_postponed_job_register suffers from
some safety issues that can lead to interpreter crashes (see bug #1991).
Essentially, the issue is that jobs can be called with the wrong
arguments.
We made two attempts to fix this whilst keeping the promised semantics,
but:
* The first one involved masking/unmasking when flushing jobs, which
was believed to be too expensive
* The second one involved a lock-free, multi-producer, single-consumer
ringbuffer, which was too complex
The critical insight behind this third solution is that essentially the
only user of these APIs are a) internal, or b) profiling gems.
For a), none of the usages actually require variable data; they will
work just fine with the preregistration interface.
For b), generally profiling gems only call a single callback with a
single piece of data (which is actually usually just zero) for the life
of the program. The ringbuffer is complex because it needs to support
multi-word inserts of job & data (which can't be atomic); but nobody
actually even needs that functionality, really.
So, this comit:
* Introduces a pre-registration API for jobs, with a GVL-requiring
rb_postponed_job_prereigster, which returns a handle which can be
used with an async-signal-safe rb_postponed_job_trigger.
* Deprecates rb_postponed_job_register (and re-implements it on top of
the preregister function for compatability)
* Moves all the internal usages of postponed job register
pre-registration
when the RUBY_FREE_ON_SHUTDOWN environment variable is set, manually free memory at shutdown.

Objects with the same shape must always have the same "embeddedness"
(either embedded or heap allocated) because YJIT assumes so. However,
using remove_instance_variable, it's possible that some objects are
embedded and some are heap allocated because it does not re-embed heap
allocated objects.
This commit changes remove_instance_variable to re-embed Object
instance variables when it becomes small enough.
During the build, Ruby has special logic to serialize its own builtin
module to disk using the binary iseq format during the build (I assume
for speed so it doesn't have to parse builtin every time it starts
up).
However, since iseq format is architecture-specific, when building on
x86_64 for universal x86_64 + arm64, the serialized builtin module is
written with the x86_64 architecture of the build machine, which fails
this check whenever ruby imports the builtin module on arm64:
1fdaa06660/compile.c (L13243)
Thankfully, there's logic to disable this feature for cross-compiled builds:
1fdaa06660/builtin.c (L6)
This disables the iseq logic for universal builds as well.
Fixes [Bug #18286]
It's an estimator for application size and could be used as a
compilation heuristic later.

This patch introduce M:N thread scheduler for Ractor system.
In general, M:N thread scheduler employs N native threads (OS threads)
to manage M user-level threads (Ruby threads in this case).
On the Ruby interpreter, 1 native thread is provided for 1 Ractor
and all Ruby threads are managed by the native thread.
From Ruby 1.9, the interpreter uses 1:1 thread scheduler which means
1 Ruby thread has 1 native thread. M:N scheduler change this strategy.
Because of compatibility issue (and stableness issue of the implementation)
main Ractor doesn't use M:N scheduler on default. On the other words,
threads on the main Ractor will be managed with 1:1 thread scheduler.
There are additional settings by environment variables:
`RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` enables M:N thread scheduler on the main ractor.
Note that non-main ractors use the M:N scheduler without this
configuration. With this configuration, single ractor applications
run threads on M:1 thread scheduler (green threads, user-level threads).
`RUBY_MAX_CPU=n` specifies maximum number of native threads for
M:N scheduler (default: 8).
This patch will be reverted soon if non-easy issues are found.
