Subject: [ruby-core:106279] [Ruby master Feature#18364] Add GC.stat_size_pool for Variable Width Allocation

Issue #18364 has been reported by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu).

----------------------------------------
Feature #18364: Add GC.stat_size_pool for Variable Width Allocation
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18364

* Author: peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
----------------------------------------
We're proposing an API to get statistics for size pools for Variable Width Allocation similar to `GC.stat`. This will make it easier for us (and other developers) to tune VWA.

Before 3.1 release, we plan to keep this method hidden from the documentation using `:nodoc:` since it is not useful when not using VWA.

For example:

```ruby
# Get stats for size pool 2
puts GC.stat_size_pool(2)
#=> {:slot_size=>160, :heap_allocatable_pages=>80, :heap_eden_pages=>14, :heap_eden_slots=>1424, :heap_tomb_pages=>0, :heap_tomb_slots=>0}
puts GC.stat_size_pool(2, :heap_eden_pages)
#=> 14
```

We aim to keep the keys in the outputted hash the same as the keys used in `GC.stat`.
