[ruby-core:92669] [Ruby trunk Feature#15833] Some refactors for shared-root array

[eregontp@gmail.com]

Issue #15833 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


I think RARRAY_SHARED_ROOT_FLAG could be in internal.h, if you want to expose it outside of array.c but not as public C API.

Longer-term I think we should move struct RArray to internal.h, but that's a much bigger/riskier change so not for this issue obviously :)

----------------------------------------
I wrote some patches for shared-root array.
But I can't decide whether to commit them because they include the modification of public header `include/ruby/ruby.h`.

To ruby core team (I'm not assuming anyone in particular):
Can I modify `include/ruby/ruby.h` by the patches?

The following is descriptions of the patches.

`0001-Name-RArray-member-to-count-reference-of-shared-root.patch` names reference count of shared-root array.
So far, `as.heap.aux.capa` is used as reference count but it is different from the reality, reference count.
This is a follow up of r19824.

`0002-Export-RARRAY_SHARED_ROOT_FLAG.patch` exports RARRAY_SHARED_ROOT_FLAG.
I followed other flags as in RARRAY_EMBED_FLAG or RARRAY_TRANSIENT_FLAG.

`0003-Fix-object-info-of-shared-root-array.patch` is not a refactor but feature request patch based on above ones.
`rb_obj_info` outputs shared-root array info as same as normal array currently, but its capa is not a really "capa" as I said.
