    [serializer] Change deferring to use forward refs · 81577a79
    Leszek Swirski authored
    Now that we have forward references, we can replace the body deferring
    mechanism with forward references to the entire pointer.
    
    This ensures that objects are always deserialized with their contents
    (aside from themselves maybe holding forward refs), and as a result we
    can simplify the CanBeDeferred conditions which encode the constraint
    that some objects either need immediately have contents, or cannot be
    deferred because their fields are changed temporarily (e.g. backing
    store refs).
    
    This also means that objects with length fields (e.g. arrays) will
    always have those length fields deserialized when the object is
    deserialized, which was not the case when the body could be deferred.
    This helps us in the plan to make GC possible during deserialization.
