Update the test in test/heapsampling.go to more thoroughly validate heap sampling.
Lower the sampling rate on the test to ensure allocations both smaller and
larger than the sampling rate are tested.
Tighten up the validation check to a 10% difference between the unsampled and correct value.
Because of the nature of random sampling, it is possible that the unsampled value fluctuates
over that range. To avoid flakes, run the experiment three times and only report an issue if the
same location consistently falls out of range on all experiments.
This tests the sampling fix in cl/158337.

The heap profile is only guaranteed to be up-to-date after two GC
cycles, so force two GCs instead of just one.

The heapsampling.go test occasionally fails on some architectures
because it finds zero heap samples in main.alloc. This happens because
the byte and object counts are only updated at a GC. Hence, if a GC
happens part way through allocInterleaved, but then doesn't happen
after we start calling main.alloc, checkAllocations will see buckets
for the lines in main.alloc (which are created eagerly), but the
object and byte counts will be zero.
Fix this by forcing a GC to update the profile before we collect it.
Fixes#13098.

The current heap sampling introduces some bias that interferes
with unsampling, producing unexpected heap profiles.
The solution is to use a Poisson process to generate the
sampling points, using the formulas described at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_process
This fixes#12620
