	Marshal.load: restore instance variables on Regexp

	[Bug #19439]

	The instance variables were restore on the Regexp source,
	not the regexp itself.

	Unfortunately we have a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

	The source holds the encoding, and the encoding need to be set on
	the source to be able to instantiate the Regexp.

	So the instance variables have to be read on the `source`.
	To correct this we transfert the instance variables after
	instantiating the Regexp.

	The only way to avoid this would be to read the instance variable
	twice and rewind.

<title>Stop transitioning to UNDEF when undefining an instance variable</title>

Cases like this:

```ruby
obj = Object.new
loop do
  obj.instance_variable_set(:@foo, 1)
  obj.remove_instance_variable(:@foo)
end
```

can cause us to use many more shapes than we want (and even run out).
This commit changes the code such that when an instance variable is
removed, we'll walk up the shape tree, find the shape, then rebuild any
child nodes that happened to be below the "targetted for removal" IV.

This also requires moving any instance variables so that indexes derived
from the shape tree will work correctly.

Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects.  Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness").  Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree.  Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.

For example:

```ruby
class Foo
  def initialize
    # Starts with shape id 0
    @a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
    @b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
  end
end

class Bar
  def initialize
    # Starts with shape id 0
    @a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
    @b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
  end
end

foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```

Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.

This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.

This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects.  See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.

For more context on Object Shapes, see [Feature: #18776]
