Crate hulunbuir

Hulunbuir is a cross-thread garbage collector. The managed objects could be used in multithreads, and collecting process may happen in any of them.

Normally, reading or updating a managed object must lock global collector as well, which significantly decrease multithread performance. However, Hulunbuir does not provide common "read guard" and "write guard" interface; instead it only supports two functions: allocate and replace. The first one create a managed object, and may trigger a garbage collecting process if necessary; the second one replace the value of a managed object with a new one provided by argument. The global collector only have to be locked during replacing and the lock could be released when working thread owns the value. So the lock will not become the bottleneck of performance.

Hulunbuir also provides Slot as higher level abstraction and interface.
