Subject: [PATCH] Enable server GC

Workstation GC pauses every managed thread on Gen-1/2 collections,
so background allocations (decompiler work, layout deserialise,
search streaming) stall the UI thread for the duration of the pause.
Server GC spawns one heap per CPU core with dedicated GC threads;
collections of one heap don't pause the others. Concurrent stays on
so even server collections don't stop-the-world for long.
