pdd09 mentions routines for blocking and unblocking both GC and DOD, however
I can not seem to find them. Possibly there was a change in plan and the
documentation was not updated?

Anyway, the attached patch adds the routines (just macros actually) to
dod.h, along with two additional macros Parrot_is_blocked_DOD,
Parrot_is_blocked_GC for testing whether or not they are blocked.

And changes a small amount of code in: core.ops, debug.c, dod.c,
interpreter.c, list.c, res_lea.c, resources.c, string.c and stacks.c to use
the new routines rather then code like:

  interpreter->DOD_block_level++;

If this looks ok, please commit.
