Mark all objects reachable from roots as live before doing main cyclic GC pass

Objects can only be cyclic garbage if they are not reachable.
So, if we can cheaply identify the majority of reachable objects before performing the (relatively slow) cycle detecting pass, we can save a lot of time.

Performing a transitive closure of all objects reachable from global roots (the sys and builtins modules as well as builtin class's dicts and sublasses) plus a transitive closure of all objects reachable from the stacks can eliminate >90% of all objects relatively cheaply.

Initial experiments show a ~3% speedup, with an almost 50% speedup of the most gc-heavy benchmark.

This idea has been proposed a few times.
@nascheme has definitely suggested it before. Perhaps he can add links to any prior discussion and/or experiments?

What makes this more feasible now is that the GC can see the evaluation stack of frames, thanks to #124392, so we would now expect that the vast majority of reachable objects can be cheaply marked, thus improving the efficiency of cycle detection considerably.

Comienza con la propuesta de alcanzabilidad de este issue, los cambios en la pila de evaluación de #124392 y los PRs enlazados #126502, #126983, #126984, #127110, #127519 y #127770. Revisa primero esas discusiones y experimentos; se considera terminado cuando los objetos alcanzables se marcan antes de la pasada principal del GC cíclico y las mejoras de rendimiento afirmadas se miden y validan.
