But, still appreciating that majority of use cases would be from GCs, we leave the proactive cleanups from the GC ops here as well. It requires the synchronization between readers that might be copying out the entries out of the hashmap and the concurrent reclamation. Handily, `GlobalCounter` can be used for that purpose.

I think those paths are for OSR and deopts, so their performance is unlikely to be critical. This PR already covers the concurrent GC paths well.

All right, thank you all. Test re-run passes, so I am integrating.
