Swaroop Sridhar 95d08bce87 Add a GCStrategy for CoreCLR
This change adds a new GC strategy for supporting the CoreCLR runtime.

This strategy is currently identical to Statepoint-example GC, 
but is necessary for several upcoming changes specific to CoreCLR, such as:

1. Base-pointers not explicitly reported for interior pointers
2. Different format for stack-map encoding
3. Location of Safe-point polls: polls are only needed before loop-back edges and before tail-calls (not needed at function-entry)
4. Runtime specific handshake between calls to managed/unmanaged functions.

// 1) Base-pointers need not be explicitly tracked and reported for
// interior pointers
// 2) Uses a different format for encoding stack-maps
// 3) Location of Safe-point polls: polls are only needed before loop-back edges
// and before tail-calls (not needed at function-entry)
//
// The above differences in behavior are to be implemented in upcoming checkins.
