gobuf.ctxt is set to nil from many places in assembly code and these
assignments require write barriers with the hybrid barrier.
Conveniently, in most of these places ctxt should already be nil, in
which case we don't need the barrier. This commit changes these places
to assert that ctxt is already nil.
gogo is more complicated, since ctxt may not already be nil. For gogo,
we manually perform the write barrier if ctxt is not nil.
Updates #17503.

Currently reflectcall has a subtle dance with write barriers where the
assembly code copies the result values from the stack to the in-heap
argument frame without write barriers and then calls into the runtime
after the fact to invoke the necessary write barriers.
For the hybrid barrier (and for ROC), we need to switch to a
*pre*-write write barrier, which is very difficult to do with the
current setup. We could tie ourselves in knots of subtle reasoning
about why it's okay in this particular case to have a post-write write
barrier, but this commit instead takes a different approach. Rather
than making things more complex, this simplifies reflection calls so
that the argument copy is done in Go using normal bulk write barriers.
The one difficulty with this approach is that calling into Go requires
putting arguments on the stack, but the call* functions "donate" their
entire stack frame to the called function. We can get away with this
now because the copy avoids using the stack and has copied the results
out before we clobber the stack frame to call into the write barrier.
The solution in this CL is to call another function, passing arguments
in registers instead of on the stack, and let that other function
reserve more stack space and setup the arguments for the runtime.
This approach seemed to work out the best. I also tried making the
call* functions reserve 32 extra bytes of frame for the write barrier
arguments and adjust SP up by 32 bytes around the call. However, even
with the necessary changes to the assembler to correct the spdelta
table, the runtime was still having trouble with the frame layout (and
the changes to the assembler caused many other things that do strange
things with the SP to fail to assemble). The approach I took doesn't
require any funny business with the SP.

morestack writes the context pointer to gobuf.ctxt, but since
morestack is written in assembly (and has to be very careful with
state), it does *not* invoke the requisite write barrier for this
write. Instead, we patch this up later, in newstack, where we invoke
an explicit write barrier for ctxt.
This already requires some subtle reasoning, and it's going to get a
lot hairier with the hybrid barrier.
Fix this by simplifying the whole mechanism. Instead of writing
gobuf.ctxt in morestack, just pass the value of the context register
to newstack and let it write it to gobuf.ctxt. This is a normal Go
pointer write, so it gets the normal Go write barrier. No subtle
reasoning required.

This is a more robust method for obtaining the availability of vx.
Since this variable may be checked frequently I've also now
padded it so that it will be in its own cache line.
I've kept the other check (in hash/crc32) the same for now until
I can figure out the best way to update it.

If morestack runs on the g0 or gsignal stack, it currently performs
some abort operation that typically produces a signal (e.g., it does
an INT $3 on x86). This is useful if you're running in a debugger, but
if you're not, the runtime tries to trap this signal, which is likely
to send the program into a deeper spiral of collapse and lead to very
confusing diagnostic output.
Help out people trying to debug without a debugger by making morestack
print an informative message before blowing up.

The new SSA backend for s390x can use R0 as a general purpose register.
This change modifies assembly code to either avoid using R0 entirely
or explicitly set R0 to 0.
R0 can still be safely used as 0 in address calculations.

Add support for the context function set by runtime.SetCgoTraceback.
The context function was added in CL 17761, without support.
This CL is the support.
This CL has not been tested for real C code, as a working context
function for C code requires unwind support that does not seem to exist.
I wanted to get the CL out before the freeze.
I apologize for the length of this CL. It's mostly plumbing, but
unfortunately the plumbing is processor-specific.
