Instead of generating GC maps which describe which stack locations that
are uninitialized, we emit ##clear instructions for those locations in
front of ##call-gc instructions. This makes the context root scanning
much simpler because the GC can assume that all stack slots are
initialized. It also removes the compiler.cfg.stacks.vacant pass and
seem to reduce the image size slightly because many fewer GC maps needs
to be emitted.
