[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Make (time) annonce the maximum heap size used

[Kooda]

Hi!

I’ve been discussing this on the IRC channel for some time, and
sjamaan created a ticket about it: http://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1318
so I gave it a go.

This will be useful for our benchmark runs, among other things.

What this patch basically does is recording the amount of heap used
after a major GC.

It’s my first time looking at the GC code so it took me a little while
to understand what to do. I hope it’s clear.

Here are the patches for both master and chicken-5.
