A common idiom used throughout the codebase is to get a pointer to thread-local-state through jl_current_task->ptls.

Create a phantom task for GC threads so that we can make use of this idiom when running in the GC threads as well.

Idea originally suggested by @vchuravy, bugs are mine.

(cherry picked from commit 9636ef7)

(I would have happily provided such a PR, too, just to save you work. Apologies if I should just have done that, I am not sure what the right "protocol" is -- you are already doing a ton of work and I don't mean to be a burden)
