Tracking issue for Boa integration

[nekevss]

This is mean to be a tracking issue for integration into Boa.

What is meant by "integration into Boa" here? Well, there are a few key points that we need to hit first.

• Coverage of boa_gc API surface area #27
• Integration into Boa #28
• Benchmarking MarkSweepGarbageCollector in Boa with arena2 #29
• Benchmark MarkSweepGarbageCollector in Boa with arena3 allocator #30
• Testing + MIRI testing in Boa (we need to know that we are not causing UB)
• Audit the API
• Did I mention that we need to audit the API? (yeah, let's do that twice if possible)

General plan

We need to be able to test this work in Boa in a way that's sane and manageable. Most likely, to start this will be a simple test branch on Boa's primary repository. Anybody working on something will need to create the code changes, run the benchmarks with the local repository, and submit a PR write up on this repo.

Awesome! excited to help knock these off the list 😄

@nekevss Just to confirm!!!! are these checklist items meant to be done sequentially (starting with #27 – Coverage of boa_gc API surface area, then #28 – Integration into Boa, etc.) :)
