Save vmbuffer in heap-specific scan descriptors for on-access pruning

Future commits will use the visibility map in on-access pruning to fix
VM corruption and set the VM if the page is all-visible.

Saving the vmbuffer in the scan descriptor reduces the number of times
it would need to be pinned and unpinned, making the overhead of doing so
negligible.
