This will be a partial merge of #5317 with the following changes.

  • Remove iclass->iv_c since iclass->iv_c is equivalent to iclass->c.
  • class_iv_ptr() returns a single pointer instead of a double pointer.

## Implementation Summary

* Only keys and only values of hash table are contiguous to eliminate
  structure padding.
* Change upper limit of `iv_tbl` size to `UINT16_MAX` (it seems to be
  acceptable in mruby because the total number of classes/modules
  immediately after starting Redmine is 20,000 or less).
* `iv_tbl*` point hash buckets directly.

## Benchmark Summary

Only the results of typical situations on 64-bit Word-boxing are present
here. For more detailed information, including consideration, see below
report (although most of the body is written in Japanese).

### Memory Usage

Lower value is better.

| iv_tbl Size |    Baseline    |       New      |   Factor   |
|------------:|---------------:|---------------:|-----------:|
|           4 |            88B |            52B |   0.59091x |
|          30 |           536B |           388B |   0.72388x |
|         100 |          2072B |          1540B |   0.74324x |
|         200 |          4120B |          3076B |   0.74660x |

Although not mentioned in the above report, the memory usage of `mrbtest`
(full-core gembox) is as follows in the result by Valgrind.

* Baseline: 108,086 allocs, 16,313,122 bytes allocated
* New:       94,273 allocs, 15,875,214 bytes allocated

### Performance

Higher value is better.

### Binary Size

Lower value is better.

|    File     |    Baseline    |      New       |   Factor   |
|:------------|---------------:|---------------:|-----------:|
| mruby       |       697,520B |       697,520B |   1.00000x |
| libmruby.a  |     1,046,570B |     1,046,682B |   0.99989x |

## Note

The address in `struct RObject::iv` may change after initialization because
`iv_tbl*` points directly to hash buckets. Therefore, the address cannot be
copied and shared when include/prepend. So, when sharing `iv_tbl`, refer to
it via the sharing source class. As a result, the following bug have also
been fixed.

* [An `iv_tbl` is not shared when a class includes or prepends an empty module](https://gist.github.com/shuujii/0ac23fa24b0c55b2c602b534d81e4a95)
This will be a partial merge of mruby#5317 with the following changes.

- Remove `iclass->iv_c` since `iclass->iv_c` is equivalent to `iclass->c`.
- `class_iv_ptr()` returns a single pointer instead of a double pointer.
