This CL revises CL 7504 to use explicitly uintptr types for the
struct fields that are going to be updated sometimes without
write barriers. The result is that the fields are now updated *always*
without write barriers.
This approach has two important properties:
1) Now the GC never looks at the field, so if the missing reference
could cause a problem, it will do so all the time, not just when the
write barrier is missed at just the right moment.
2) Now a write barrier never happens for the field, avoiding the
(correct) detection of inconsistent write barriers when GODEBUG=wbshadow=1.

sighandler may run during a stop-the-world without a P, so it's not
allowed to have write barriers. Fix the G write to disable the write
barrier (this is safe because the G is reachable from allgs) and mark
the function nowritebarrier.

This makes Go's CPU profiling code somewhat more idiomatic; e.g.,
using := instead of forward declaring variables, using "int" for
element counts instead of "uintptr", and slices instead of C-style
pointer+length. This makes the code easier to read and eliminates a
lot of type conversion clutter.
Additionally, in sigprof we can collect just maxCPUProfStack stack
frames, as cpuprof won't use more than that anyway.

This code overused macros and could not be
converted automatically. Instead a new sigctxt
type had to be defined for each os/arch combination,
with a common (implicit) interface used by the
arch-specific signal handler code.
