.. section: Core and Builtins
Introduce a unified 16-bit backoff counter type (``_Py_BackoffCounter``),
shared between the Tier 1 adaptive specializer and the Tier 2 optimizer. The
API used for adaptive specialization counters is changed but the behavior is
(supposed to be) identical.
The behavior of the Tier 2 counters is changed:
* There are no longer dynamic thresholds (we never varied these).
* All counters now use the same exponential backoff.
* The counter for ``JUMP_BACKWARD`` starts counting down from 16.
* The ``temperature`` in side exits starts counting down from 64.

.. section: Core and Builtins
Implement an incremental cyclic garbage collector. By collecting the old
generation in increments, there is no need for a full heap scan. This can
hugely reduce maximum pause time for programs with large heaps.
Reduce the number of generations from three to two. The old generation is
split into two spaces, "visited" and "pending".
Collection happens in two steps:: * An increment is formed from the young
generation and a small part of the pending space. * This increment is
scanned and the survivors moved to the end of the visited space.
When the collecting space becomes empty, the two spaces are swapped.
