runtime: include scalar slots in GC scan work metric
The garbage collector predicts how much "scan work" must be done in a
cycle to determine how much work should be done by mutators when they
allocate. Most code doesn't care what units the scan work is in: it
simply knows that a certain amount of scan work has to be done in the
cycle. Currently, the GC uses the number of pointer slots scanned as
the scan work on the theory that this is the bulk of the time spent in
the garbage collector and hence reflects real CPU resource usage.
However, this metric is difficult to estimate at the beginning of a
cycle.
Switch to counting the total number of bytes scanned, including both
pointer and scalar slots. This is still less than the total marked
heap since it omits no-scan objects and no-scan tails of objects. This
metric may not reflect absolute performance as well as the count of
scanned pointer slots (though it still takes time to scan scalar
fields), but it will be much easier to estimate robustly, which is
more important.
