New API standalone functions to acquire and release the allocator lock

Issue #282 (bdwgc).

Public GC_alloc_lock() and GC_alloc_unlock() are introduced to simplify
dealing with the GC lock compared to GC_call_with_alloc_lock().

* include/gc.h [GC_THREADS] (GC_alloc_lock, GC_alloc_unlock): Declare
new API function.
* include/gc.h [!GC_THREADS] (GC_alloc_lock, GC_alloc_unlock): Define
as a no-op macro.
* misc.c [THREADS] (GC_alloc_lock, GC_alloc_unlock): Define API
function.
* tests/test.c (reachable_objs_count_enumerator): Remove function.
* tests/test.c (check_heap_stats): Call GC_alloc_lock(); call
GC_enumerate_reachable_objects_inner() directly; call GC_alloc_unlock().
