feat: improve method search and TAO support

* Add TAO (Thread Affine Objects) support to improve thread safety
  - Add atomic thread pointer in object header
  - Add checks to ensure objects are accessed from owning thread
  - Update method calls to support TAO validation

* Refactor method lookup and caching
  - Rename methodcache to impcache for clarity
  - Add callbacks to impcache for better extensibility
  - Improve method search tracing
  - Clean up lookup and refresh functions

* Enhance protocol class handling
  - Run +initialize on adopting classes and subclasses
  - Support +deinitialize for protocol classes
  - Fix meta rootclass protocol class wrapping

* Other improvements
  - Add support for double/float tagged pointers
  - Add noautorelease property attribute
  - Add dynamic property storage for categories
  - Remove -release/-retain from fast methods
  - Fix 32-bit system compatibility
