altos/lisp: Add incremental collection
Realizing that long-lived objects will eventually float to the bottom of the heap, I added a simple hack to the collector that 'remembers' the top of the heap the last time a full collect was run and then runs incremental collects looking to shift only objects above that boundary. That doesn't perfectly capture the bounds of transient objects, but does manage to reduce the amount of time spent not moving persistent objects each time through the collector.
