* 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

The external type must be a Value object for garbage collection reasons.
For completely custom types, use a GCPointer, with appropriate GC function for clearing up your data type.
Written by Volkmar Frinken (@vfrinken). This is intended as a
lightweight (i.e. minimal dependencies) code generator that can be
ported to multiple platforms, especially those with memory constraints.
It shouldn't be expected to be anywhere near as fast as the Scheme back
end, for lots of reasons. The main goal is portability.
