This looks like it is just moving some code from
time to runtime (and translating it to C), but the
runtime can do a better job managing the goroutines,
and it needs this functionality for its own maintenance
(for example, for the garbage collector to hand back
unused memory to the OS on a time delay).
Might as well have just one copy of the timer logic,
and runtime can't depend on time, so vice versa.
It also unifies Sleep, NewTicker, and NewTimer behind
one mechanism, so that there are no claims that one
is more efficient than another. (For example, today
people recommend using time.After instead of time.Sleep
to avoid blocking an OS thread.)
Fixes#1644.
Fixes#1731.
Fixes#2190.

In CL 4188061 I changed malg to allocate the requested
number of bytes n, not n+StackGuard, so that the
allocations would use rounder numbers.
The allocation of the signal stack asks for 32k and
then used g->stackguard as the base, but g->stackguard
is StackGuard bytes above the base. Previously, asking
for 32k meant getting 32k+StackGuard bytes, so using
g->stackguard as the base was safe. Now, the actual base
must be computed, so that the signal handler does not
run StackGuard bytes past the top of the stack.
Was causing flakiness mainly in programs that use the
network, because they sometimes write to closed network
connections, causing SIGPIPEs. Was also causing problems
in the doc/progs test.
Also fix Makefile so that changes to stack.h trigger rebuild.

I missed that environment is used during runtime setup,
well before go init() functions run. Implemented os-dependent
runtime.goenvs functions to allow for different unix, plan9 and
windows versions of environment discovery.

Prefix all external symbols in runtime by runtime·,
to avoid conflicts with possible symbols of the same
name in linked-in C libraries. The obvious conflicts
are printf, malloc, and free, but hide everything to
avoid future pain.
The symbols left alone are:
** known to cgo **
_cgo_free
_cgo_malloc
libcgo_thread_start
initcgo
ncgocall
** known to linker **
_rt0_$GOARCH
_rt0_$GOARCH_$GOOS
text
etext
data
end
pclntab
epclntab
symtab
esymtab
** known to C compiler **
_divv
_modv
_div64by32
etc (arch specific)
Tested on darwin/386, darwin/amd64, linux/386, linux/amd64.
Built (but not tested) for freebsd/386, freebsd/amd64, linux/arm, windows/386.

On systems where the mmap succeeds
(e.g., sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0)
it changes the signal code delivered for a
nil fault from ``page not mapped'' to
``invalid permissions for page.''

tested on linux/amd64, linux/386, linux/arm, darwin/amd64, darwin/386.
freebsd untested; will finish in a separate CL.
for now all the panics are errorStrings.
richer structures can be added as necessary
once the mechanism is shaked out.

FreeBSD was passing stk as the new thread's stack base, while
stk is the top of the stack in go. The added check should cause
a trap if this ever comes up in any new ports, or regresses
in current ones.

In thread.c, we need to cast to whatever the native
size of intptr is on the system, but we only have
uintptr available. They're the same size, but can't
do signed casts without this one :).

cgo/libmach remain unimplemented. However, compilers, runtime,
and packages are 100%. I still need to go through and implement
missing syscalls (at least make sure they're all listed), but
for all shipped functionality, this is done. Ship! ;)
