Fix unlikely but possible race in `WeakValueDictionary` It may happen that value in `valueArray` could have been already collected by the GC but #clearDeadSlots have not yet been called. When this happened, `#at:ifAbsentPut:` returned tombstone rather than updating the dictionary with value from block. This commit fixes this by checking whether `valueArray` contain the tombstone and if so, clearing up the dead slots and restarting the operation. HTH.

    AutoloadMetaclass catches unhandled class methods, files in 
    the corresponding code when first used and resends the catched
    message to the now existing class.

    Autoload installs AutoloadMetaclass as its metaclass in #initialize. 

    See details of the why and how of autoloading in the Autoload class.
