Fix for CAF retention when dynamically loading & unloading code
In a situaion where we have some statically-linked code and we want to
load and unload a series of objects, we need the CAFs in the
statically-linked code to be retained indefinitely, while the CAFs in
the dynamically-linked code should be GC'd as normal, so that we can
detect when the code is unloadable. This was wrong before - we GC'd
CAFs in the static code, leading to a crash in the rare case where we
use a CAF, GC it, and then load a new object that uses it again.
I also did some tidy up: RtsConfig now has a field keep_cafs to
indicate whether we want CAFs to be retained in static code.
