Replace `__product_group` method with `__product_generate` and `__product_next`. This change eliminates the need for Ruby to perform internal state calculations, allowing it to simply receive the results.

Code Review
The code changes refactor the product method in mruby-array-ext to use a generator pattern for improved performance, especially when used with a block. The reviewer suggests further optimization by storing the arys array within the generator object to reduce overhead when calling __product_next.

For further optimization, consider storing the arys array within the generator object itself rather than passing it from Ruby on every call to __product_next. This would reduce the overhead of passing the array across the Ruby/C boundary in each iteration of the while loop.
This would involve:
- Adding a
mrb_value arys;field to thestruct ary_product_generator. - Storing
arys_aryin this new field withinary_product_generateand adding a write barrier. - Adding a
markfunction toary_product_generator_typeto ensurearysis not garbage collected. - Modifying
ary_product_nextto retrievearysfrom the generator struct instead of from its arguments. - Updating the call in
array.rbto__product_next(gen)and the method signature in the C method table.

In the current version of mruby, there is no way to protect an object from the garbage collector once it has been placed in a user-defined structure.
However, placing it in a hidden instance variable is not memory-efficient.
Therefore, I believe the current patch strikes a good balance.

Thank you for clarifying the mruby garbage collector's limitations regarding protecting objects placed directly in user-defined C structures. Given this constraint, and the potential memory inefficiency of using hidden instance variables, I agree that the current implementation strikes a good balance between performance and memory management. It's important to work within the existing GC capabilities.
