ringabout 30cf33f04d rework the vtable implementation embedding the vtable array directly with new strictions on methods (#22991)
**TODO**
- [x] fixes changelog
With the new option `nimPreviewVtables`, `methods` are confined in the
same module where the type of the first parameter is defined

- [x] make it opt in after CI checks its feasibility

## In the following-up PRs

- [ ] in the following PRs, refactor code into a more efficient one

- [ ] cpp needs special treatments since it cannot embed array in light
of the preceding limits: ref
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20977#discussion_r1035528927; we
can support cpp backends with vtable implementations later on the
comprise that uses indirect vtable access

## New entry point into our C/C++ code generator. Ideally
## somebody would rewrite the old backend (which is 8000 lines of crufty Nim code)
## to work on packed trees directly and produce the C code as an AST which can
## then be rendered to text in a very simple manner. Unfortunately nobody wrote
## this code. So instead we wrap the existing cgen.nim and its friends so that
## we call directly into the existing code generation logic but avoiding the
## naive, outdated `passes` design. Thus you will see some
## `useAliveDataFromDce in flags` checks in the old code -- the old code is
## also doing cross-module dependency tracking and DCE that we don't need
## anymore. DCE is now done as prepass over the entire packed module graph.
