If `RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` is given, this patch shows `+MN` in
`RUBY_DESCRIPTION` like:
```
$ RUBY_MN_THREADS=1 ./miniruby --yjit -v
ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-10-17T04:10:14Z master 908f8fffa2) +YJIT +MN [x86_64-linux]
```
Before this patch, a warning is displayed if `$VERBOSE` is given.
However it can make troubles with tests (with `$VERBOSE`), do not
show any warning with a MN threads configuration.
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.
[Bug #19842]
This commit changes RUBY_GC_HEAP_INIT_SIZE_{40,80,160,320,640}_SLOTS to
RUBY_GC_HEAP_{0,1,2,3,4}_INIT_SLOTS. This is easier to use because the
user does not need to determine the slot sizes (which can vary between
32 and 64 bit systems). They now just use the heap names
(`GC.stat_heap.keys`).
In general, if the same option specifying a single value is given
multiple times at the same level, the last one overrides the earlier
ones, unless prohibited.
There’s no reason to prevent RUBYOPT from controlling the backtrace
limit. In fact, Matz said [0] he was expecting this to be possible.

Introduce Universal Parser mode for the parser.
This commit includes these changes:
* Introduce `UNIVERSAL_PARSER` macro. All of CRuby related functions
are passed via `struct rb_parser_config_struct` when this macro is enabled.
* Add CI task with 'cppflags=-DUNIVERSAL_PARSER' for ubuntu.
Instead of `rb_fork`, to update `current_fork_gen` which has been
introduced at 3563e1383f.
Otherwise, the forked process attempts to stop the timer thread, but
raises an exception because the thread is not alive in the child and
dies because already no tag is present at that time.
Followup: ac123f167a
RB_WARN_CATEGORY_ALL_BITS is exposed in a public header, so it
makes sense for it to be updated to contain all valid bits.
Instead we introduce RB_WARN_CATEGORY_DEFAULT_BITS to list the
categories that are enabled by default.
[Feature #19538]
This new `peformance` warning category is disabled by default.
It needs to be specifically enabled via `-W:performance` or `Warning[:performance] = true`
Add a sampling option to trace exits
Running YJIT with trace exits enabled can make very large metrics files.
This allows us to configure a sample rate to make tracing exits possible
on larger tests. This also updates the documented YJIT options.

Remove !USE_RVARGC code
[Feature #19579]
The Variable Width Allocation feature was turned on by default in Ruby
3.2. Since then, we haven't received bug reports or backports to the
non-Variable Width Allocation code paths, so we assume that nobody is
using it. We also don't plan on maintaining the non-Variable Width
Allocation code, so we are going to remove it.
