The bug came from the API design error of
uim_scm_call[1-3](). On a procedure call via these functions,
the evaluated arguments are not GC protected although each
argument evaluations itself are protected.

I'll withdraw the uim_scm_call[0-3]() APIs, and add a set of
replacement for it. Please wait for a while.

libgcroots is not based on GC 6.7 but GC 7.0alpha7. Keep it as
in GC 7.0alpha7.

GC 7 prefers getcontext() over __builtin_unwind_init() if
defined(UNIX_LIKE), regardless of existence of the
HAVE_GETCONTEXT I added in libgcroots. So undefining
HAVE_GETCONTEXT does not affect the context saving method
selection.
