[interp] Non-recursive interpreter (#16461)

* Aling alloca_size to 8.

* Prevent some false pinning in the monitor-resurrection.cs test when using the non-recursive interpreter.

* [runtime] Add a mono_compiler_barrier () function.

* Add a MONO_GET_SP opcode to pass to enter/exit_gc_safe_region, ldloca might not return a native stack address with the interpreter.

* Add an interpreter/gc callback to mark the interpreter stack.

* Copy only an integer in ENDFILTER.

* Add a native_stack_addr field to InterpFrame so the EH code has something to compare against native stack addresses.

* Add a FrameStack structure to allow allocation of InterpFrame structures and stack data outside the native stack.

* Allocate InterpFrames/stack data from a frame stack instead of the native stack.

* Make some calls non-recursive.

* Remove an assert.

* Use non-recursive calls in CALLVIRT_FAST as well.

* Fix stack size allocation for vararg calls.

* Add some micro optimizations to the calling code.

* Add more micro optimizations.

* [dtest] disable Crash test on interpreter

* Add some implicit conversions to STSFLD to fix a corefx test failure.

* Disable the new test.
