Nim 2.0 - unofficial plan/RFC

It’s a bit too early for an official plan/RFC, so instead I’m writing this down here. Once Nim can bootstrap via --gc:orc we should make this the default GC as it works best with destructor based custom memory management. Since this is all based on the “new runtime” which isn’t ABI compatible this deserves the 2.0 version. This should also be our next LTS version.
