Prior to this change, each GC job would hold on to a complete copy of the
system config. This was problematic in cases where there were a large number
of GC jobs. This PR introduces a new object in a new package to coordinate
the relevant notifications.
Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug which could lead to out of memory errors
when dropping large numbers of tables at high frequency.
