bcache: Incremental gc

Big garbage collection rewrite; now, garbage collection uses the same
mechanisms as used elsewhere for inserting/updating btree node pointers,
instead of rewriting interior btree nodes in place.

This makes the code significantly cleaner and less fragile, and means we
can now make garbage collection incremental - it doesn't have to hold a
write lock on the root of the btree for the entire duration of garbage
collection.

This means that there's less of a latency hit for doing garbage
collection, which means we can gc more frequently (and do a better job
of reclaiming from the cache), and we can coalesce across more btree
nodes (improving our space efficiency).
