sort.c uses record_unwind_protect_mark to let GC mark some objects in
its merge_state structure, while GC marks the specpdl stack.
This is
- unnecessary because all the objects that are currrently extra
protected by merge_markmem, are already seen by the GC, because these
are the objects being sorted, which are protected in the usual way
(marking the control stack, ...)
- costs GC time
- complicates the code
I therefore suggest removing this, including the removal of
record_unwind_protect_mark and the mark function pointer in union
specbinding (sort.c is the only user).
