runtime: don't rescan globals

Browse Source 
Currently the runtime rescans globals during mark 2 and mark
termination. This costs as much as 500µs/MB in STW time, which is
enough to surpass the 10ms STW limit with only 20MB of globals.

It's also basically unnecessary. The compiler already generates write
barriers for global -> heap pointer updates and the regular write
barrier doesn't check whether the slot is a global or in the heap.
Some less common write barriers do cause problems.
heapBitsBulkBarrier, which is used by typedmemmove and related
functions, currently depends on having access to the pointer bitmap
and as a result ignores writes to globals. Likewise, the
reflect-related write barriers reflect_typedmemmovepartial and
callwritebarrier ignore non-heap destinations; though it appears they
can never be called with global pointers anyway.

This commit makes heapBitsBulkBarrier issue write barriers for writes
to global pointers using the data and BSS pointer bitmaps, removes the
inheap checks from the reflection write barriers, and eliminates the
rescans during mark 2 and mark termination. It also adds a test that
writes to globals have write barriers.

Programs with large data+BSS segments (with pointers) aren't common,
but for programs that do have large data+BSS segments, this
significantly reduces pause time:

name \ 95%ile-time/markTerm              old         new  delta
LargeBSS/bss:1GB/gomaxprocs:4  148200µs ± 6%  302µs ±52%  -99.80% (p=0.008 n=5+5)

This very slightly improves the go1 benchmarks:
