The problem is that it is possible that an inline marking might take minutes for some objects
(infrequent, but still possible for state roots and prohibitive if that's a block validation).
So we simply track references continuously and rely on the main compaction thread to trigger
concurrent marking for all references at opportune moments.
Assumption: we can mark references faster than they are created during purge or else we'll
never purge anything.
