GCInfo: Support versioning.
This change enables the VM to support multiple versions GCInfo concurrently. This is necessary in light of upcoming work to add ReturnType and other modifications to the GCInfo format -- so that existing ReadyToRun images will continue to run correctly. The version# is not stored in the GcInfo structure -- because it is wasteful to store the version once for every method. Instead, it is tracked per range-section of generated/loaded methods. The GCInfo version is computed as: 1) The current GCINFO_VERSION for JITted and Ngened images 2) A function of the Ready-to-run major version stored in READYTORUN_HEADER for ready-to-run images. ReadyToRunJitManager::JitTokenToGCInfoVersion() provides the GcInfo version for any Method. Currently, there's only one version of GCInfo. An abstraction GCInfoToken is added to the GcInfo interface, which tracks the {GcInfo, Version} pair in-memory. Several GcInfo APIs are modified to use GCInfoToken in place of GcInfo pointers. Notes: 1) SOS GcDump: The GCDump API has separate dump routines for Header and the pointer-liveness information (DumpGCTable and DumpGCHeader) each of which advance a pointer to the GCInfo block. These APIs are not changed to recieve a GCInfoToken in place of the GcInfo block pointer. Instead, they recieve the GcInfo version at the time of construction. 2) Some routines that are specific to x86 gcInfo (ex: crackMethodInfoHdr) are not yet updated to use versioning, since the development plan is to update the Non-x86 GcInfo structure first. 3) The x86 specific structs defining GcInfo headers are moved to GcInfoTypes.h, along with the non-x86 GcInfo type definitions.
