Feature: Do not move root objects in Immix

[qinsoon]

This feature would be helpful if a binding allows moving non-root objects, but not root objects. E.g. they are doing conservative stack scanning. The idea is simple: for root edges, we need to tell Immix to mark the objects but not copy them.

This could just be implemented by object pinning, right? If you are using conservative roots, then we can just pin the roots.

Right. But pinning requires using object metadata for a pinning bit. This does not need extra object metadata.
