// Garbage collector: sweeping
// The sweeper consists of two different algorithms:
//
// * The object reclaimer finds and frees unmarked slots in spans. It
// can free a whole span if none of the objects are marked, but that
// isn't its goal. This can be driven either synchronously by
// mcentral.cacheSpan for mcentral spans, or asynchronously by
// sweepone, which looks at all the mcentral lists.
//
// * The span reclaimer looks for spans that contain no marked objects
// and frees whole spans. This is a separate algorithm because
// freeing whole spans is the hardest task for the object reclaimer,
// but is critical when allocating new spans. The entry point for
// this is mheap_.reclaim and it's driven by a sequential scan of
// the page marks bitmap in the heap arenas.
//
// Both algorithms ultimately call mspan.sweep, which sweeps a single
// heap span.
