This patch removes the `VALUE flags` member from the `rb_ast_t` structure making `rb_ast_t` no longer an IMEMO object.
## Background
We are trying to make the Ruby parser generated from parse.y a universal parser that can be used by other implementations such as mruby.
To achieve this, it is necessary to exclude VALUE and IMEMO from parse.y, AST, and NODE.
## Summary (file by file)
- `rubyparser.h`
- Remove the `VALUE flags` member from `rb_ast_t`
- `ruby_parser.c` and `internal/ruby_parser.h`
- Use TypedData_Make_Struct VALUE which wraps `rb_ast_t` `in ast_alloc()` so that GC can manage it
- You can retrieve `rb_ast_t` from the VALUE by `rb_ruby_ast_data_get()`
- Change the return type of `rb_parser_compile_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_t *` to `VALUE`
- rb_ruby_ast_new() which internally `calls ast_alloc()` is to create VALUE vast outside ruby_parser.c
- `iseq.c` and `vm_core.h`
- Amend the first parameter of `rb_iseq_new_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_body_t *` to `VALUE`
- This keeps the VALUE of AST on the machine stack to prevent being removed by GC
- `ast.c`
- Almost all change is replacement `rb_ast_t *ast` with `VALUE vast` (sorry for the big diff)
- Fix `node_memsize()`
- Now it includes `rb_ast_local_table_link`, `tokens` and script_lines
- `compile.c`, `load.c`, `node.c`, `parse.y`, `proc.c`, `ruby.c`, `template/prelude.c.tmpl`, `vm.c` and `vm_eval.c`
- Follow-up due to the above changes
- `imemo.{c|h}`
- If an object with `imemo_ast` appears, considers it a bug

This patch is part of universal parser work.
## Summary
- Decouple VALUE from members below:
- `(struct parser_params *)->debug_lines`
- `(rb_ast_t *)->body.script_lines`
- Instead, they are now `rb_parser_ary_t *`
- They can also be a `(VALUE)FIXNUM` as before to hold line count
- `ISEQ_BODY(iseq)->variable.script_lines` remains VALUE
- In order to do this,
- Add `VALUE script_lines` param to `rb_iseq_new_with_opt()`
- Introduce `rb_parser_build_script_lines_from()` to convert `rb_parser_ary_t *` into `VALUE`
## Other details
- Extend `rb_parser_ary_t *`. It previously could only store `rb_parser_ast_token *`, now can store script_lines, too
- Change tactics of building the top-level `SCRIPT_LINES__` in `yycompile0()`
- Before: While parsing, each line of the script is added to `SCRIPT_LINES__[path]`
- After: After `yyparse(p)`, `SCRIPT_LINES__[path]` will be built from `p->debug_lines`
- Remove the second parameter of `rb_parser_set_script_lines()` to make it simple
- Introduce `script_lines_free()` to be called from `rb_ast_free()` because the GC no longer takes care of the script_lines
- Introduce `rb_parser_string_deep_copy()` in parse.y to maintain script_lines when `rb_ruby_parser_free()` called
- With regard to this, please see *Future tasks* below
## Future tasks
- Decouple IMEMO from `rb_ast_t *`
- This lifts the five-members-restriction of Ruby object,
- So we will be able to move the ownership of the `lex.string_buffer` from parser to AST
- Then we remove `rb_parser_string_deep_copy()` to make the whole thing simple
- Simplify globbed file names.
- Prefer `File.open` over `Kernel#open`.
- Swallow initializer blocks instead of line by line with flip-flop.
- Re-structure converter list.
When multiple libraries exist in a subdirectory under `ext`, `rmdir
-p` may fail, because other directories have not been removed yet or
the parent directory has been removed by other `distclean`. `rmdir`
in GNU coreutils has `--ignore-fail-on-non-empty` option for the
former case but others may not, and the latter race condition is not
avoidable anyway.
By replacing `ALLOBJS` suffix with intermediate file suffixes instead
of roughly removing by wildcards. Made `cleanlibs` append `.dSYM`
suffix for each word in `TARGET_SO`, not the end of the entire list.
The extension library has each initialization function named "Init_" +
basename. If multiple extensions have the same base name (such as
cgi/escape and erb/escape), the same function will be registered for
both names.
To fix this conflict, rename the initialization functions under sub
directories using using parent names, when statically linking.
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]
On some platforms, such as FreeBSD and Oracle Linux, symbols defined
in the crt0 setup routine are exported from shared libraries. So
ignore the symbols that would be exported even in an empty shared
library.
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.
