There are several calls to mark_pointer which can be avoided if offsets are used instead, This will help to reduce the archive size and reduce startup time.

This patch introduces some utility functions in the first commit to assist in converting to and from u4 offsets. For ease of review, consider looking at each commit separately as they each address an individual pointer to offset change. Verified with tier 1-5 tests.
