Let the ZHeapIterator walk all roots, including weak roots that might be 
logically cleared from the application's point of view. This allows e.g. 
for a more thorough heap verification.

Also the heap iterator should access oops with AS_NO_KEEPALIVE to avoid 
resurrecting object that would otherwise be garbage collected.
