Do not let short disablements of the gc affect the gc intervals.

The gc interval is now properly saved and restored. Before this, brief
gc disablements could lead to alloc_threshold being set to the
minimum, which then could lower the max threshold calculation so that
the next gc interval could be unnaturally short through the
GARBAGE_MAX_INTERVAL strategy.
