This change is some preparatory refactoring for the randomized allocation sampling feature. We need to add more state onto allocation context but we don't want to do a breaking change of the GC interface. The new state only needs to be visible to the EE but we want it physically near the existing alloc context state for good cache locality. To accomplish this we created a new ee_alloc_context struct which contains an instance of gc_alloc_context within it.

The new field ee_alloc_context::combined_limit should be used by fast allocation helpers to determine when to go down the slow path. Most of the time combined_limit has the same value as alloc_limit, but periodically we need to emit an allocation sampling event on an object that is somewhere in the middle of an AC. Using combined_limit rather than alloc_limit as the slow path trigger allows us to keep all the sampling event logic in the slow path.

There is another PR for CoreCLR making the same change: #104849

In a future PR we will add a field called combined_limit

I think you can add it in this PR. Adding the extra field is going to touch a lot of the same lines as this PR.

(Also, same comment as #104851 (comment).)

@jkotas @MichalStrehovsky - I've applied the feedback from the CoreCLR issue to this one as well. Is anything else needed before you can signoff?

nativeaot-outerloop (Build windows-x64 Release NativeAOT_Checked timeouts look like infrastructure issues, but they do not go away with reruns. Either the Helix queues are overloaded, or there is a bug that makes the tests run a lot slower.

I've updated for the feedback so far. Everything is addressed except NativeAOT SOS which has to be handled out-of-band. Looking at the time I think I may need to call it quits on this for .NET 9 and instead treat it as .NET 10 on a slower cadence. At this point I don't think I have more time available right now to do a staged checkin, revalidate testing after the ongoing changes, and continue to have time in reserve to respond to potential post-checkin issues.

- removed unnecessary UpdateCombinedLimit() in thread detach
- updated comment for workaround on 96081
- swapped to updating combined_limit inside GcEnumAllocContexts() instead of in RestartEE()
