runtime: Add prefetch to allocation code

Browse Source 
The routine mallocgc retrieves objects from freelists. Prefetch
the object that will be returned in the next call to mallocgc.
Experiments indicate that this produces a 1% improvement when using
prefetchnta and less when using prefetcht0, prefetcht1, or prefetcht2.

Benchmark numbers indicate a 1% improvement over no
prefetch, much less over prefetcht0, prefetcht1, and prefetcht2.
These numbers were for the garbage benchmark with MAXPROCS=4
no prefetch                          >> 5.96 / 5.77 / 5.89
prefetcht0(uintptr(v.ptr().next))    >> 5.88 / 6.17 / 5.84
prefetcht1(uintptr(v.ptr().next))    >> 5.88 / 5.89 / 5.91
prefetcht2(uintptr(v.ptr().next))    >> 5.87 / 6.47 / 5.92
prefetchnta(uintptr(v.ptr().next))   >> 5.72 / 5.84 / 5.85
