instead of regular g stack. We do this so that the g stack
we're currently running on is no longer changing. Cuts
the root set down a bit (g0 stacks are not scanned, and
we don't need to scan gc's internal state). Also an
enabler for copyable stacks.

With this change the compiler emits a bitmap for each function
covering its stack frame arguments area. If an argument word
is known to contain a pointer, a bit is set. The garbage
collector reads this information when scanning the stack by
frames and uses it to ignores locations known to not contain a
pointer.

This depends on: 9791044: runtime: allocate page table lazily
Once page table is moved out of heap, the heap becomes small.
This removes unnecessary dereferences during heap access.
No logical changes.

https://golang.org/cl/9802043
This removes the 256MB memory allocation at startup,
which conflicts with ulimit.
Also will allow to eliminate an unnecessary memory dereference in GC,
because the page table is usually mapped at known address.

Currently per-sizeclass stats are lost for destroyed MCache's. This patch fixes this.
Also, only update mstats.heap_alloc on heap operations, because that's the only
stat that needs to be promptly updated. Everything else needs to be up-to-date only in ReadMemStats().
