rework the vtable implementation embedding the vtable array directly with new strictions on methods (#22991)
**TODO**
- [x] fixes changelog
With the new option `nimPreviewVtables`, `methods` are confined in the
same module where the type of the first parameter is defined

- [x] make it opt in after CI checks its feasibility

## In the following-up PRs

- [ ] in the following PRs, refactor code into a more efficient one

- [ ] cpp needs special treatments since it cannot embed array in light
of the preceding limits: ref
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20977#discussion_r1035528927; we
can support cpp backends with vtable implementations later on the
comprise that uses indirect vtable access

 - `-d:nimStrictDelete` becomes the default. An index error is produced when the index passed to `system.delete` was out of bounds. Use `-d:nimAuditDelete` to mimic the old behavior for backwards compatibility.
 - The default user-agent in `std/httpclient` has been changed to `Nim-httpclient/<version>` instead of `Nim httpclient/<version>` which was incorrect according to the HTTP spec.
+- Methods now support implementations based on vtable by using `-d:nimPreviewVtables`. methods are confined in the same module where the type has been defined.
 - With `-d:nimPreviewNonVarDestructor`, non-var destructors become the default.
