runtime: accept non-monotonic arena allocation on 32-bit

Browse Source 
Currently, the heap arena allocator allocates monotonically increasing
addresses. This is fine on 64-bit where we stake out a giant block of
the address space for ourselves and start at the beginning of it, but
on 32-bit the arena starts at address 0 but we start allocating from
wherever the OS feels like giving us memory. We can generally hint the
OS to start us at a low address, but this doesn't always work.

As a result, on 32-bit, if the OS gives us an arena block that's lower
than the current block we're allocating from, we simply say "thanks
but no thanks", return the whole (256MB!) block of memory, and then
take a fallback path that mmaps just the amount of memory we need
(which may be as little as 8K).

We have to do this because mheap_.arena_used is *both* the highest
used address in the arena and the next address we allocate from.

Fix all of this by separating the second role of arena_used out into a
new field called arena_alloc. This lets us accept any arena block the
OS gives us. This also slightly changes the invariants around
arena_end. Previously, we ensured arena_used <= arena_end, but this
was related to arena_used's second role, so the new invariant is
arena_alloc <= arena_end. As a result, we no longer necessarily update
arena_end when we're updating arena_used.

Fixes #20259 properly. (Unlike the original fix, this one should not
be cherry-picked to Go 1.8.)

This is reasonably low risk. I verified several key properties of the
32-bit code path with both 4K and 64K physical pages using a symbolic
model and the change does not materially affect 64-bit (arena_used ==
arena_alloc on 64-bit). The only oddity is that we no longer call
setArenaUsed with racemap == false to indicate that we're creating a
hole in the address space, but this only happened in a 32-bit-only
code path, and the race detector require 64-bit, so this never
mattered anyway.
