The motivation is that sysAlloc/Free() currently aren't safe to be
called without a valid G, because arm's xadd64() uses locks that require
a valid G.
The solution here was proposed by Dmitry Vyukov: use xadduintptr()
instead of xadd64(), until arm can support xadd64 on all of its
architectures (not a trivial task for arm).

We return memory to the kernel with madvise(..., DONTNEED).
Also mark returned memory with NOHUGEPAGE to keep the kernel from
merging this memory into a huge page, effectively reallocating it.
Only known to be a problem on linux/{386,amd64,amd64p32} at the moment.
It may come up on other os/arch combinations in the future.
Fixes#8832

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.
sed -i "" 's/[[:<:]]gothrow[[:>:]]/throw/g' runtime/*.go

This is to reduce the delta between dev.cc and dev.garbage to just garbage collector changes.
These are the files that had merge conflicts and have been edited by hand:
malloc.go
mem_linux.go
mgc.go
os1_linux.go
proc1.go
panic1.go
runtime1.go

The conversion was done with an automated tool and then
modified only as necessary to make it compile and run.
[This CL is part of the removal of C code from package runtime.
See golang.org/s/dev.cc for an overview.]
