Deprecated TextureGCSystem/RenderableGCSystem in favor of GCSystem.

// old 
app.init({
    textureGCActive: true,
    textureGCMaxIdle: 60000,
    textureGCCheckCountMax: 30000,
    renderableGCActive: true,
    renderableGCMaxUnusedTime: 60000,
    renderableGCFrequency: 30000,
});

// new
app.init({
  gcActive: true,
  gcMaxUnusedTime: 60000,
  gcFrequency: 30000,
});

feat: Adds auto-GC option to view containers by @Zyie in https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/pull/11810
- Disable automatic garbage collection for a node.
```
new Sprite({
    autoGarbageCollect: false,
});
```

feat: add unload method to reset GPU data by @Zyie in https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/pull/11762
- You can now manually unload a node by calling its unload method. This releases any GPU resources associated with the node. The node can still be used afterward—it will be re-created automatically when needed.
```
sprite.unload();
text.unload();
mesh.unload(); 
```
