    [torque] Get rid of `weak` keyword · 6745405f
    Seth Brenith authored
    Torque allows a `weak` keyword on class field declarations. This keyword
    is confusing, because it means two completely different things:
    
    1. This field should be included in the weak fields section, meaning the
       field's offset should be in the range [kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset,
       kEndOfWeakFieldsOffset).
    2. If a BodyDescriptor is generated for this class, then this field
       should be visited using *custom* weakness semantics
       (IterateCustomWeakPointers, not IterateMaybeObjectPointers).
    
    I propose the following updated behavior, which I think is a bit more
    reasonable:
    
    1. To request that the generated BodyDescriptor use custom weakness
       semantics, use a new annotation @customWeakMarking.
    2. The weak fields section includes all fields that can be a Weak<T>
       type, plus those annotated with @customWeakMarking.
    
    These new rules require reordering fields in two classes which didn't
    already have all of their strong fields adjacent.
