This closure is then passed down and applied to the different containers. We split the root sets into different sets: concurrent strong, concurrent weak, and non-concurrent weak. Not all of those sets contain all types of containers. This forces some of the code to implement, or at least consider, parts of the ZRootsIteratorClosure interface that it doesn't care about. It also moves some of the closure logic into shared code, even when it's only used by one of the closures.

As soon as that gets integrated, we can get rid of the ZWeakSerial and the associated non-concurrent weak roots handling.
