vm.c (ruby_vm_at_exit): new API. This enables extension libs to
hook a VM termination. Right now, because the VM we have is
process global, most extensions do not deallocate resources and
leave them to Operating System's reaping userland processes. But
in a future we plan to have multiple VMs to run simultaneously in
a single process (MVM project). At that stage we can no longer
rely on OSes and have to manage every resources to be reclaimed
properly. So it is. For a forward-compatibility reason this API
is introduced now, encouraging you to be as gentle as you can for
your resources; that is, tidy up your room.
* include/ruby/vm.h: ditto.
* vm_core.h (rb_vm_struct): new field.
* vm.c (vm_init2): initialize above new field.
* eval.c (ruby_cleanup): trigger those hooks.
