Transforms the value of a splat inside a return statement (similar
to an array). For example, `return *nil` should return `nil.to_a`,
while `return *1` should return `[1]`
Exception raising can now be controlled by the caller.
The main purpose on this patch is:
- Suppress exceptions from `obj_free()` in `src/gc.c` with `mrb_env_unshare()`.
- Consider the possibility that calls to `mrb_malloc()` may cause `e` objects to be subject to GC.
When control is returned to `mrb_env_unshare()`, `struct free_obj::next` in the same offset as `struct REnv::stack` is rewritten.
Unexpected results then occur when the object is reused.
Also, if `mrb_heap_page` containing an `e` object is freed, it may cause `SIGSEGV` at that point.
- Protects the value of the stack on `callinfo` that just exits if GC occurs inside `mrb_env_unshare()`.
```ruby
def m
b = -> { b }
end
p m.call
# => print block object, not nil
```
This patch does not raise a `NoMemoryError` exception in `mrb_env_unshare()` and can detect that error.
Thus, the problem fixed in # 3087 is not resurrected.
Also, it may seem that this patch should suppress exceptions raised by `cipop()` during `mrb_protect_error()` and `mrb_vm_exec()` unwinds.
However, `mrb_callinfo::u.env` by `CINFO_DIRECT` is not seen to be set.
So in that case `mrb_env_unshare()` is assumed to be originally exception-free.
- mrb_div_int() does integer division in Ruby way (mdiv)
returns mrb_int
- mrb_div_int_value() division with zero div and overflow checks.
returns mrb_value
- remove `lex_strterm_before_heredoc` that does not nest
- remove `all_heredocs` that cannot distinguish nested and followed
here-doc
- replace `lex_strterm` represented by cons list by C struct
- push/pop `lex_strterm` before/after interpolation
Users can now switch to their own implementation of GEM.
However, we do not guarantee that this will not be a problem in the current situation.
This may need to be improved in the future.
Normal return of control from the `mrb_sys_fail()` function has unexpected results.
Example: double free, malloc with huge size used as error integer
The following is an example of an actual crash:
```console
% cat crash.rb
def SystemCallError._sys_fail(*a)
nil
end
File.readlink("/404")
% bin/mruby crash.rb
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) bin/mruby crash.rb
```
Internal functions can only be called from within the library.
Functions listed in `mruby/internal.h` can be called from:
* core (src/*.c)
* gems (mrbgems/**/*.c)
But not from the application linked with `libmruby`.
Since the possible values of the backtrace are limited to `nil`, `RData`, and `RAray`, they are now stored as object pointers.
This change saves memory by eliminating the need to use instance variables for common exceptions.

There is no need to limit the type to `struct RString`.
Also, the `MRB_EXC_MESG_STRING_FLAG` flag can be eliminated by checking if `struct RException::mesg` is `NULL` or not.
