jade 77ff799cc8 gc: refactor the gc server thread out into a class without changing it This removes a whole load of variables from scope and enforces thread boundaries with the type system. There is not much change of significance in here, so the things to watch out for while reviewing it are primarily that the destructor ordering may have changed inadvertently, I think.
