No longer let the GC replace dead keys with the LJ_TDEADKEY tag.

Important: this changes the semantics of the write barrier!
Carefully read the big comment block in lj_obj.h
This helps HREFK key slot specialization and allows safely hoisting
HREF/HREFK across GC steps, too (fix for a barely reproducible bug).
Dead keys are only removed during a table resize (as before).
