This is one of a sequence of PRs designed to make progress towards generating stack maps so that we can trigger the GC during allocation rather than in between rewrite steps only. The first few PRs will be preliminaries that add small features that will be used by future PRs.
In this PR we are creating a cmake compilation flag that enables or disables the new gc strategy. It is disabled by default. Right now this flag is unused, but it will be used in future PRs to guard the in-progress functionality behind a flag so that it doesn't break anything. In the future, once the feature is ready for testing, we will make it enabled by default, and eventually delete the old behavior.
The cmake flag can then be accessed both by cmake and as a preprocessor directive or boolean constant in C++ code.
