New flag +RTS -qi<n>, avoid waking up idle Capabilities to do parallel GC

This is an experimental tweak to the parallel GC that avoids waking up
a Capability to do parallel GC if we know that the capability has been
idle for a (tunable) number of GC cycles.  The idea is that if you're
only using a few Capabilities, there's no point waking up the ones
that aren't busy.

e.g. +RTS -qi3

says "A Capability will participate in parallel GC if it was running
at all since the last 3 GC cycles."

Results are a bit hit and miss, and I don't completely understand why
yet.  Hence, for now it is turned off by default, and also not
documented except in the +RTS -? output.
