The caller can use the return value to know if it's necessary to call it again.

Sometimes calling it only once doesn't clean up everything it can, because a JS
object may be referenced by another.

With this return value, before a thread is going to sleep, it can try to clean
up JS garbage as much as possible. 

And this return value doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't need it.

Consider why JSC::Heap::collect returns a boolean.
