* WIP: an optimizer for ARC
* do not optimize away destructors in 'finally' if unstructured control flow is involved
* optimized the optimizer
* minor code cleanup
* first steps to .cursor inference
* cursor inference: big steps to a working solution
* baby steps
* better .cursor inference
* new feature: expandArc for easy inspection of the AST after ARC transformations
* added topt_cursor test
* adapt tests
* cleanups, make tests green
* optimize common traversal patterns
* moved test case
* fixes .cursor inference so that npeg compiles once again
* cursor inference: more bugfixes

* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
* cycle collector: new implementation
* cycle collector: make self-adaptive based on its previous effectiveness
* cycle collector: added Lins's jump stack to improve traversal from 3*N to 2*N
* cycle collector: make tests green
* API extensions and bugfixes
* code cleanup and use --gc:orc for tasyncawait
* scope based destructors
* handle 'or' and 'and' expressions properly, see the new test arc/tcontrolflow.nim
* make this branch mergable, logic is disabled for now
* allow defects to be caught even for --exceptions:goto (WIP)
* implemented the new --panics:on|off switch; refs https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/180
* new implementation for integer overflow checking
* produce a warning if a user-defined exception type inherits from Exception directly
* applied Timothee's suggestions; improved the documentation and replace the term 'checked runtime check' by 'panic'
* fixes#13627
* don't inherit from Exception directly
* ensure capitalize doesn't take an inferred sink parameter
* sink parameter inference: first version, for now disabled. Changed that sink parameters can be consumed multiple times in order to adhere to our spec.
* sink inference can now be disabled with .nosinks; sometimes for proc type interop this is required
* fixes yet another critical DFA bug
* better implementation that also understands if expressions etc
* document sink parameter inference and allow for global disabling
* Cleanup, remove lib/system/allocators.nim. seqs_v2 and strs_v2 now use
allocShared0 by default.
* Fixed -d:useMalloc allocShared / reallocShared / deallocShared. These now use the alloc/dealloc/realloc implementation that also takes care of zeroing memory at realloc.
* Removed debug printfs
* Removed unpairedEnvAllocs() from tests/destructor/tnewruntime_misc
* More mmdisp cleanups. The shared allocators do not need to zero memory or throw since the regular ones already do that
* Introduced realloc0 and reallocShared0, these procs are now used by
strs_v2 and seqs_v2. This also allowed the -d:useMalloc allocator to
drop the extra header with allocation length.
* Moved strs_v2/seqs_v2 'allocated' flag into 'cap' field
* Added 'getAllocStats()' to get low level alloc/dealloc counters. Enable with -d:allocStats
* *allocShared implementations for boehm and go allocators now depend on the proper *allocImpl procs
