At the moment, this GCStrategy doesn't really do much - aside from actually generate correct stackmaps that is - but I went ahead and added a few extra correctness checks as proof of concept.  It's mostly here to provide documentation on how to do one, and to provide a point for various optimization legality hooks I'd like to add going forward.  (For context, see the TODOs in InstCombine around gc.relocate.)

In a week or two, I'll make having a GCStrategy be required for gc.statepoints.  To this end, I added the gc tag to one of the test cases but not others.
