Mutex is consistent with package sync, and when in the
unexported Go form it avoids having a conflcit between
the type (now mutex) and the function (lock).

uintptr or uint64 in the runtime C were turning into uint in the Go,
bool was turning into uint8, and so on. Fix that.
Also delete Go wrappers for C functions.
The C functions can be called directly now
(but still eventually need to be converted to Go).

We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.
This CL does NOT make any representation changes.
Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.
A follow-up CL will change the representation by
changing the isdirectiface function. If that CL causes
problems, it will be easy to roll back.
Update #8405.
