Previously addTempRoot() acquired the LocalStore state lock and waited for the garbage collector to reply. If the garbage collector is in the same process (as it the case with auto-GC), this would deadlock as soon as the garbage collector thread needs the LocalStore state lock. So now addTempRoot() uses separate Syncs for the state that it needs. As long at the auto-GC thread doesn't call addTempRoot() (which it shouldn't), it shouldn't deadlock. Fixes #3224.
