Revert "mark_overlays: Use the normal ITREE_FOREACH"
This reverts commit b8fbd42f0a7caa4cd9e2d50dd4e4b2101ac78acd, with edits. * src/alloc.c (mark_overlays): restore function. (mark_buffer): Call it, not ITREE_FOREACH. (garbage_collect): eassert (!itree_busy_p ()). * src/itree.h: Comment tweak: explain why GC is considered risky. It isn't that GC itself is risky, it is that GC can call ELisp by way of a hook, and running ELisp during iteration is risks nested iteration.

- If you need to exit the loop early, you *have* to call `ITREE_ABORT`
just before exiting (e.g. with `break` or `return`).
- Non-local exits are not supported within the body of the loop.
