Free bit 7 of GC 'marked' field
Tables were using this bit to indicate their array sizes were real
('isrealasize'), but this bit can be useful for tests. Instead, they
can use bit 7 of their 'flag' field for that purpose. (There are only
six fast-access metamethods.) This 'flag' field only exists in tables,
so this use does not affect other types.
