* RefC backend improvements
1. OnCollect had the wrong number of arguments. The code creator expects
3 arguments, but onCollect in prim.h expected 4 arguments. The first of which
was an erased arguments. That is now fixed.
2. OnCollect did not call `newReference` when creating a new reference to the pointer
and the freeing function
3. OnCollect and OnCollectAny still had a spurious printf statement
Those issues have been fixed, the test case can be found in
tests/refc/garbageCollect
4. The IORef mechanism expects that the %World token will be passed around
consistently. This is not the case. States in Control.App make use of
IORefs, but the function created from Control.App.prim_app_bind
had the world token erased to NULL.
Now, IORefs are managed using a global variable,
IORef_Storage * global_IORef_Storage;
referenced in cBackend.h, defined in the created .c file, and set to NULL
in main();
5. While multithreading and forking is still not supported, compiling a program
that makes use of Control.App demands a C implementation of prim_fork.
Files support/refc/threads.c and support/refc/threads.h provide a
dummy implementation for it, so that Control.App programs compile and run.
A test for these 2 issues is given in tests/refc/issue2424
