rts: Fix segfault when using non-moving GC with profiling

`nonMovingCollect()` swaps out the `static_flag` value used as a
sentinel for `gct->scavenged_static_objects`, but the subsequent call
`resetStaticObjectForProfiling()` sees the old value of `static_flag` used as
the sentinel and segfaults. So we must call `resetStaticObjectForProfiling()`
before calling `nonMovingCollect()` as otherwise it looks for the incorrect
sentinel value

Fixes #25232 and #23958

Also teach the testsuite driver about nonmoving profiling ways
and stop disabling metric collection when nonmoving GC is enabled.
