SIZE_POOL_COUNT is a GC macro, it should belong in gc.h and not shape.h.
SIZE_POOL_COUNT doesn't depend on shape.h so we can have shape.h depend
on gc.h.

* YJIT: Generate debug info in release builds
They are helpful in case we need to do core dump debugging.
* Remove Cirrus DOC skip rule
The syntax for this is weird, and escaping [ and ] cause parse failures.
Cirrus' docs said to surround with .*, but then that seems to skip
everything. Revert e0a4205eb7 for now.
I see several arguments in doing so.
First they use a non trivial amount of memory, so for various memory
profiling/mapping tools it is relevant to have visibility of the space
occupied by shapes.
Then, some pathological code can create a tons of shape, so it is
valuable to have a way to have a way to observe shapes without having
to compile Ruby with `SHAPE_DEBUG=1`.
And additionally it's likely much faster to dump then this way than
to use `RubyVM::Shape`.
There are however a few open questions:
- Shapes can't respect the `since:` argument. Not sure what to do when
it is provided. Would probably make sense to not dump them.
- Maybe it would make more sense to have a separate `ObjectSpace.dump_shapes`?
- Maybe instead `dump_all` should take a `shapes: false` argument?
Additionally, `ObjectSpace.dump_shapes` is added for the use case of
debugging the evolution of the shape tree.
Cases like this:
```ruby
obj = Object.new
loop do
obj.instance_variable_set(:@foo, 1)
obj.remove_instance_variable(:@foo)
end
```
can cause us to use many more shapes than we want (and even run out).
This commit changes the code such that when an instance variable is
removed, we'll walk up the shape tree, find the shape, then rebuild any
child nodes that happened to be below the "targetted for removal" IV.
This also requires moving any instance variables so that indexes derived
from the shape tree will work correctly.

This commit adds a `capacity` field to shapes, and adds shape
transitions whenever an object's capacity changes. Objects which are
allocated out of a bigger size pool will also make a transition from the
root shape to the shape with the correct capacity for their size pool
when they are allocated.
This commit will allow us to remove numiv from objects completely, and
will also mean we can guarantee that if two objects share shapes, their
IVs are in the same positions (an embedded and extended object cannot
share shapes). This will enable us to implement ivar sets in YJIT using
object shapes.

Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.
