`(attr_index + 1)` leads to wrong integer expansion on 32-bit machines

The inline cache is initialized by vm_cc_attr_index_set only when
vm_cc_markable(cc). However, vm_getivar attempted to read the cache
even if the cc is not vm_cc_markable.

This caused a condition that depends on uninitialized value.
Here is an output of valgrind:

Prior to this commit, we were reading and writing ivar index and
shape ID in inline caches in two separate instructions when
getting and setting ivars. This meant there was a race condition
with ractors and these caches where one ractor could change
a value in the cache while another was still reading from it.

This commit instead reads and writes shape ID and ivar index to
inline caches atomically so there is no longer a race condition.

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.

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]
