Add semantics about GC finaliser to spec

The proposal is from general-issue-tracker#27 by Kunshan Wang.

The proposal suggests two common instructions, @uvm.gc.prevent_death_once and @uvm.gc.next_object_to_finalise.

  • @uvm.gc.prevent_death_once marks an object as finalisable. When GC finds the object dead, it put the object to a finalisable object queue.
  • @uvm.gc.next_object_to_finalise will pop an object reference from the queue.

These instructions allow client to create a finaliser thread (running Mu code). e5848b32 captures the idea and put them into the spec.
