Implement options for making computeds and reactions/autoruns garbage-collectable without manually disposing them.

I've had a couple apps that I've needed to use keepAlive computeds. I'm lazy and can't make promises that future me/future my app will dispose them properly. Now that JS supports WeakRefs, this is a less of a problem. The use case is pretty slim, mainly around computed(() => {}, { keepAlive: true }) stuff, but it can be used for autoruns too (though you'll need to keep a reference to the autorun in some other way less it fall out of scope and get garbage collected).

  • Added/updated unit tests
  • Updated /docs. For new functionality, at least API.md should be updated
  • Verified that there is no significant performance drop (yarn mobx test:performance)
