Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 30e41242ec doc/internal/gc.md: add practical tuning examples
add workload-specific GC tuning advice based on benchmark data:
- allocation-heavy: interval_ratio 400 for ~12% improvement
- real-time: step_limit for bounded pause times
- large buffers: malloc_threshold
- diagnosing GC overhead with GC.stat

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 309f450bab gc.c: use actual work done for debt repayment in incremental step
Decrement gc_debt by the actual number of objects processed
instead of the fixed GC_STEP_SIZE. This makes step_ratio
directly affect debt repayment: larger steps repay more debt,
naturally reducing GC invocation frequency.

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 851da984b4 gc.c: use :debt instead of :threshold in GC.stat
Expose gc_debt directly as :debt in GC.stat without sign negation.
The debt model has no threshold ceiling, so :threshold was a
misleading name. Negative debt means credit, positive means GC
is behind on collection work.

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 3ce3453e9c docs: improve usability of new documentation
language.md: reorganize stdlib tables by class name instead of gem
name so users can quickly find "does mruby have Time/File/Set?"

capi.md: fix mrb_protect example (mrb->exc is cleared after protect,
so mrb_print_error does not work; show mrb_inspect instead); fix
fiber yield example to show correct usage as return value.

gc.md, compiler.md, vm.md: add "read this if" guidance paragraphs
to help developers decide whether they need each document.
