This replaces the contiguous heap arena mapping with a potentially
sparse mapping that can support heap mappings anywhere in the address
space.
This has several advantages over the current approach:
* There is no longer any limit on the size of the Go heap. (Currently
it's limited to 512GB.) Hence, this fixes#10460.
* It eliminates many failures modes of heap initialization and
growing. In particular it eliminates any possibility of panicking
with an address space conflict. This can happen for many reasons and
even causes a low but steady rate of TSAN test failures because of
conflicts with the TSAN runtime. See #16936 and #11993.
* It eliminates the notion of "non-reserved" heap, which was added
because creating huge address space reservations (particularly on
64-bit) led to huge process VSIZE. This was at best confusing and at
worst conflicted badly with ulimit -v. However, the non-reserved
heap logic is complicated, can race with other mappings in non-pure
Go binaries (e.g., #18976), and requires that the entire heap be
either reserved or non-reserved. We currently maintain the latter
property, but it's quite difficult to convince yourself of that, and
hence difficult to keep correct. This logic is still present, but
will be removed in the next CL.
* It fixes problems on 32-bit where skipping over parts of the address
space leads to mapping huge (and never-to-be-used) metadata
structures. See #19831.
This also completely rewrites and significantly simplifies
mheap.sysAlloc, which has been a source of many bugs. E.g., #21044,
#20259, #18651, and #13143 (and maybe #23222).
This change also makes it possible to allocate individual objects
larger than 512GB. As a result, a few tests that expected huge
allocations to fail needed to be changed to make even larger
allocations. However, at the moment attempting to allocate a humongous
object may cause the program to freeze for several minutes on Linux as
we fall back to probing every page with addrspace_free. That logic
(and this failure mode) will be removed in the next CL.
Fixes#10460.
Fixes#22204 (since it rewrites the code involved).
This slightly slows down compilebench and the x/benchmarks garbage
benchmark.

Because the hint parameter is supposed to be treated
purely as a hint, if it doesn't meet the requirements
we disregard it and continue as if there was no hint
at all.

The one in misc/makerelease/makerelease.go is particularly bad and
probably warrants rotating our keys.
I didn't update old weekly notes, and reverted some changes involving
test code for now, since we're late in the Go 1.5 freeze. Otherwise,
the rest are all auto-generated changes, and all manually reviewed.

The current spec says that when calling make, if both len and
cap are constant, it is an error if len > cap. The gc
compiler does not yet implement that, but when it does this
will need to change. Changing it now for the benefit of
gccgo.
