This commit renames the "GC queue" to the "MVCC GC queue" (which GC's old MVCC
versions) to avoid confusion with the "replica GC queue" (which GC's abandoned
replicas). We've already been using this terminology in various other contexts
to avoid confusion, so this refactor updates the code to reflect this naming.
This comes in response to #73838, which found a bug that had survived for three
years and was a direct consequence of this ambiguous naming.
The commit doesn't go quite as far as renaming the
pkg/kv/kvserver/gc
package,but that could be a follow-up to this commit.
