7b4df8f018 runtime, sync/atomic: add write barrier for atomic write of pointer
Add write barrier to atomic operations manipulating pointers.

In general an atomic write of a pointer word may indicate racy accesses,
so there is no strictly safe way to attempt to keep the shadow copy
in sync with the real one. Instead, mark the shadow copy as not used.

Redirect sync/atomic pointer routines back to the runtime ones,
so that there is only one copy of the write barrier and shadow logic.
In time we might consider doing this for most of the sync/atomic
functions, but for now only the pointer routines need that treatment.

Found with GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 mode.
Eventually that will run automatically, but right now
it still detects other missing write barriers.
