Currently, gentraceback tracks the closure context of the outermost
frame. This used to be important for "unstarted" calls to reflect
function stubs, where "unstarted" calls are either deferred functions
or the entry-point of a goroutine that hasn't run. Because reflect
function stubs have a dynamic argument map, we have to reach into
their closure context to fetch to map, and how to do this differs
depending on whether the function has started. This was discovered in
issue #25897.
However, as part of the register ABI, "go" and "defer" were made much
simpler, and any "go" or "defer" of a function that takes arguments or
returns results gets wrapped in a closure that provides those
arguments (and/or discards the results). Hence, we'll see that closure
instead of a direct call to a reflect stub, and can get its static
argument map without any trouble.
The one case where we may still see an unstarted reflect stub is if
the function takes no arguments and has no results, in which case the
compiler can optimize away the wrapper closure. But in this case we
know the argument map is empty: the compiler can apply this
optimization precisely because the target function has no argument
frame.
As a result, we no longer need to track the closure context during
traceback, so this CL drops all of that mechanism.
We still have to be careful about the unstarted case because we can't
reach into the function's locals frame to pull out its context
(because it has no locals frame). We double-check that in this case
we're at the function entry.
I would prefer to do this with some in-code PCDATA annotations of
where to find the dynamic argument map, but that's a lot of mechanism
to introduce for just this. It might make sense to consider this along
with #53609.
Finally, we beef up the test for this so it more reliably forces the
runtime down this path. It's fundamentally probabilistic, but this
tweak makes it better. Scheduler testing hooks (#54475) would make it
possible to write a reliable test for this.
For #54466, but it's a nice clean-up all on its own.

Normally, reflect.makeFuncStub records the context value at a known
point in the stack frame, so that the runtime can get the argument map
for reflect.makeFuncStub from that known location.
This doesn't work for defers or goroutines that haven't started yet,
because they haven't allocated a frame or run an instruction yet. The
argument map must be extracted from the context value. We already do
this for defers (the non-nil ctxt arg to getArgInfo), we just need to
do it for unstarted goroutines as well.
When we traceback a goroutine, remember the context value from
g.sched. Use it for the first frame we find.
(We never need it for deeper frames, because we normally don't stop at
the start of reflect.makeFuncStub, as it is nosplit. With this CL we
could allow makeFuncStub to no longer be nosplit.)
