Unboxed atoms (#3862)
Introduces unboxed (and arity-specialized) storage schemes for Atoms. It results in improvements both in memory consumption and runtime.
Memory wise: instead of using an array, we now use object fields. We also enable unboxing. This cuts a good few pointers in an unboxed object. E.g. a quadruple of integers is now 64 bytes (4x8 bytes for long fields + 16 bytes for layout and constructor pointers + 16 bytes for a class header). It used to be 168 bytes  (4x24 bytes for boxed Longs + 16 bytes for array header + 32 bytes for array contents +  8 bytes for constructor ptr  + 16 bytes for class header), so we're saving 104 bytes a piece. In the least impressive scenarios (all-boxed fields) we're saving 8 bytes per object (saving 16 bytes for array header, using 8 bytes for the new layout field). In the most-benchmarked case (list of longs), we save 32 bytes per cons-cell.
Time wise:
All list-summing benchmarks observe a ~2x speedup. List generation benchmarks get ~25x speedups, probably both due to less GC activity and better allocation characteristics (only allocating one object per Cons, rather than Cons + Object[] for fields). The "map-reverse" family gets a neat 10x speedup (part of the work is reading, which is 2x faster, the other is allocating, which is now 25x faster, we end up with 10x when combined).

This directory contains the libraries that should remain in this project, but that are not technically part of the main language implementation itself.
