A nosplits was assumed to have no argument information and no
pointer map. However, nosplits created by the linker often
have both. This change uses the pointer map size as an
alternate source of argument size when processing a nosplit.
In addition, the symbol table construction pointer map size
and argument size consistency check is strengthened. If a
nptrs is greater than 0 it must be equal to the number of
argument words.

Thanks Lucio for the suggestion.
PS: yes, this could be considered a big change (but not an API change), but
as it turns out even temporarily changes R9/R10 in user code is unsafe and
leads to very hard to diagnose problems later, better to disable using R9/R10

With this change the compiler emits a bitmap for each function
covering its stack frame arguments area. If an argument word
is known to contain a pointer, a bit is set. The garbage
collector reads this information when scanning the stack by
frames and uses it to ignores locations known to not contain a
pointer.

runtime: introduce helper persistentalloc() function
It is a caching wrapper around SysAlloc() that can allocate small chunks.
Use it for symtab allocations. Reduces number of symtab walks from 4 to 3
(reduces buildfuncs time from 10ms to 7.5ms on a large binary,
reduces initial heap size by 680K on the same binary).
Also can be used for type info allocation, itab allocation.
There are also several places in GC where we do the same thing,
they can be changed to use persistentalloc().
Also can be used in FixAlloc, because each instance of FixAlloc allocates
in 128K regions, which is too eager.

When cgo is used, runtime creates an additional M to handle callbacks on threads not created by Go.
This effectively disabled deadlock detection, which is a right thing, because Go program can be blocked
and only serve callbacks on external threads.
This also disables deadlock detection under race detector, because it happens to use cgo.
With this change the additional M is created lazily on first cgo call. So deadlock detector
works for programs that import "C", "net" or "net/http/pprof" but do not use them in fact.
Also fixes deadlock detector under race detector.
It should be fine to create the M later, because C code can not call into Go before first cgo call,
because C code does not know when Go initialization has completed. So a Go program need to call into C
first either to create an external thread, or notify a thread created in global ctor that Go
initialization has completed.

This changes the map lookup behavior for string maps with 2-8 keys.
There was already previously a fastpath for 0 items and 1 item.
Now, if a string-keyed map has <= 8 items, first check all the
keys for length first. If only one has the right length, then
just check it for equality and avoid hashing altogether. Once
the map has more than 8 items, always hash like normal.
I don't know why some of the other non-string map benchmarks
got faster. This was with benchtime=2s, multiple times. I haven't
anything else getting slower, though.
