[Bug java/13130] New: [ABI] GC shouldn't have to scan .data section

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Right now the GC has to scan all the data sections.
We should change this so that roots unrelated to
classes must be registered.  This should greatly
improve GC performance, see

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-11/msg00207.html

This is an incompatible change, we should make it along
with our other ABI-breaking changes.
