Fix issue 47805 (#52183)

Fix issue #47805 - in this case, the BGC_MARKED_BY_FGC bit (0x2) set in the method table leaked out and caused issues for the user program.

In the cases that I've been able to repro, this happened because the bit got set for a short object right in front of a pinned plug, and then saved away by enque_pinned_plug.

Later on, in the case of mark & sweep, we check for the bit and reset it, but later we copy the saved object back by calling recover_saved_pinned_info which calls recover_plug_info to do the actual work. This isn't a problem for the compact case, because we copy the saved object back during compact_plug, turn the bit off, then save it again at the end of compact_plug.

The fix is to turn off the extra bits at the beginning of enque_pinned_plug and save_post_plug_info for the copy that is later restored in mark & sweep (there are actually two copies saved, one for use during compact and one for use during mark & sweep). This builds on an earlier fix by Maoni for a similar problem with another bit.
