This PR will include commits to reduce the chance of Enumerator#next fibers leaking.

The original issue is #6004.

So far most of the leaks appear to be caused by combining Enumerator::Lazy with Enumerator#next, since many lazy paths construct new Lazy instances in such a way that they are hard-referenced by the eventual fiber.

Lazy enumerators still may leak in the presence of Enumerator#next
calls, but this at least isolates the instantiating Lazy from the
newly-created Lazy, avoiding a backreference that might keep the
original object alive.

Given a test as shown in jruby#6004 that spins up many Lazy instances,
this patch appears to work well. It did not appear to fix the
reported leaks in that issue, however.

Example code that leaked before but is stable with this patch:

```ruby
while true
  [1,2,3].lazy.reject {|x| x < 3 }.next
  JRuby.gc
end
```

In the interest of improving things for 9.2.10 I have merged this. There's still known leaks in lazy enumerators and the root cause of #6004 remains elusive but it is a step forward.
