Currently gc is slow because when we delete state changes, we access old data from database that are not necessarily cached, which is slow. We cannot afford to run garbage collection in the same thread as client actor as it potentially blocks client when every step takes several hundred millisecond or even more than one second. This PR separates gc into its own actor and runs in a separate thread.
