    [heap] Remove PromotionMode used by Scavenger · f88fe51a
    mlippautz authored
    The scavenger should never consider mark bits for promotion/copy as this creates
    weird livetimes at the start of incremental marking. E.g. consider an object
    marked black by the marker at the start of incremental marking. A scavenge would
    promote it to the old generation although it could --and for short-living
    objects actually does-- become unreachable during marking
    
    Also, keeping this invariant significantly simplifies young generation mark
    compacting as we can compare against the scavenging decision without keeping
    different sets of markbits.
