----------------------------------------
constant cache `IC` is accessed by non-atomic manner and there are
thread-safety issues, so Ruby 3.0 disables to use const cache on
non-main ractors.

To enable the constant cache, we need to make `IC` access atomically,
and this is a patch: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4022

This patch enables it by introducing imemo_constcache and allocates
it by every re-fill of const cache like imemo_callcache.

Benchmark:

```ruby
Warning[:experimental] = false

def tarai(x, y, z) = Object && # useless constant reference
  x <= y ? y : tarai(tarai(x-1, y, z),
                     tarai(y-1, z, x),
                     tarai(z-1, x, y))
def task = tarai(12, 6, 0)
#
require 'benchmark'

Benchmark.bm{|x|
  x.report('seq'){ 4.times{ task } }
  x.report('par'){ 4.times.map{ Ractor.new{ task } }.each(&:take) }
}
```
