The Go builders (and standard development cycle) for programs on iOS
require running the programs under lldb. Unfortunately lldb intercepts
SIGSEGV and will not give it back.
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22868
We get around this by never letting lldb see the SIGSEGV. On darwin,
Unix signals are emulated on top of mach exceptions. The debugger
registers a task-level mach exception handler. We register a
thread-level exception handler which acts as a faux signal handler.
The thread-level handler gets precedence over the task-level handler,
so we can turn the exception EXC_BAD_ACCESS into a panic before lldb
can see it.

Rename "gothrow" to "throw" now that the C version of "throw"
is no longer needed.
This change is purely mechanical except in panic.go where the
old version of "throw" has been deleted.

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.
[This CL is part of the removal of C code from package runtime.
See golang.org/s/dev.cc for an overview.]

This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code
running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains
corrections for what it detected.
The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different
stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and
gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual
stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack
guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split
check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead
of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with
a message about running C code on a Go stack.
This check catches all C code running on the Go stack
except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed,
so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check,
the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static
checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check
works with function pointers and other indirect calls.
For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go
stacks in the signal handlers.
Fixes#8667.
