The `(cdr tc-ptr-offsets)` in the recrusrion was wrong, but use
`thread->objects` and `thread->stack-objects` to work more generally.

When `set!` is used to tie a recursove knot in a flattened linklet,
the expander can recognize that pattern and not complain that a
mutable variable might be shared across places. Improving that
inference means fewer `++global-ok` flags in Makefiles.
This commit also avoids single-quote as an escaping form in a
makefile, which doesn't work with nmake on Windows.
Move `NORETURN` of 2e3a618b00 to start of function declaration, where
it works for both GCC and MSVC.

Continue to build the bundled-with-Chez zlib and lz4 by default, but
support `--enable-libz` and `--enable-liblz4`, and turn those on when
the Chez Scheme directory doesn't have bundled versions. That should
make things build right for distributions where repackaging
dependencies is disallowed or discouraged.
Merging ".o" files to one "kernel.o" can be convenient for further
linking, but it requires running `ld` directly. Running `ld` directly
sometimes runs into a mismatch between the C compiler and the default
`ld`. It's better to use the more typical approach of collecting
objects into an archive.
original commit: 7d5b60c7566570655e567495d86d546101cf8fb4
The Chez Scheme build process now create an archive instead of linking
"kernel.o". Adjust the Racket CS build to use archives instead of
"kernel.o".
Also, modernize the Racket build's use of `ar`. Using the flags `rc` by
default (instead of `ruv`) should avoid the need for `nicear`.
If GUN ar is configured for deterministic mode by default, then
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
prints. Suppress that to avoid stderr output.
Checking for directories when searching for a collection can be
especially slow with the Windows filesystem, but Windows also supports
filesystem-change events. So, cache information about the existence of
paths, relying on filesystem-change events to detect with the cache is
out of date.
