runtime: flush write barrier buffer to create work

Currently, if the gcWork runs out of work, we'll fall out of the GC
worker, even though flushing the write barrier buffer could produce
more work. While this is not a correctness issue, it can lead to
premature mark 2 or mark termination.

Fix this by flushing the write barrier buffer if the local gcWork runs
out of work and then checking the local gcWork again.

This reduces the number of premature mark terminations during all.bash
by about a factor of 10.

Updates #26903. This is preparation for eliminating mark 2.
