With generational ZGC, pointers on-heap will be colored and pointers off-heap will be "colorless". So we need to generalize encoding and decoding of oops in the heap, for loom.

This happened to work so far for ZGC, because the stale pointers had enough colors. But with generational ZGC, these on-stack oops will be colorless, so we have to be more accurate here and ensure processing really has started on any thread that cont_oop is used on. To make life a bit easier, I'm moving the oop processing responsibility for these oops to the thread instead. Currently there is no more than one of these, so doing it lazily per frame seems a bit overkill.
