Currently, we use a full stop-the-world around enabling write

before any blackening occurs (either in gcBgMarkWorker() or in
gcAssistAlloc()).
However, there's no need to bring the whole world to a synchronous
stop to ensure this. This change replaces the STW with a ragged
barrier that ensures each P has individually observed that write
barriers should be enabled before GC performs any blackening.

Currently, mutator allocation periodically assists the garbage
collector by performing a small, fixed amount of scanning work.
However, to control heap growth, mutators need to perform scanning
work *proportional* to their allocation rate.
This change implements proportional mutator assists. This uses the
scan work estimate computed by the garbage collector at the beginning
of each cycle to compute how much scan work must be performed per
allocation byte to complete the estimated scan work by the time the
heap reaches the goal size. When allocation triggers an assist, it
uses this ratio and the amount allocated since the last assist to
compute the assist work, then attempts to steal as much of this work
as possible from the background collector's credit, and then performs
any remaining scan work itself.

This approach has two important properties:
1) Now the GC never looks at the field, so if the missing reference
could cause a problem, it will do so all the time, not just when the
write barrier is missed at just the right moment.
2) Now a write barrier never happens for the field, avoiding the
(correct) detection of inconsistent write barriers when GODEBUG=wbshadow=1.

Currently this aggregates the work counter in gcWork and dispose
atomically aggregates this into a global work counter. dispose happens

More generally, it's not okay to call add(p, size) unless you know that p

GC: mark term: 427037ns max=427037 total=1691184 procs=4
This prints gomaxprocs and the number of procs used in each phase for
the benefit of analyzing mutator utilization during concurrent phases.
This also means the analysis doesn't have to hard-code which phases
are STW.
This prints the absolute start time only for the GC cycle. The other
start times can be derived from the phase durations. This declutters
the view for humans readers and doesn't pose any additional complexity
for machine readers.
This removes the confusing "cycle" terminology. Instead, this places
the phase duration after the phase name and adds a "ns" unit, which
both makes it implicitly clear that this is the duration of that phase
and indicates the units of the times.
This adds a "GC:" prefix to all lines for easier identification.
Finally, this generally cleans up the code as well as the placement of
spaces in the output and adds print locking so the statistics blocks
are never interrupted by other prints.

Another goroutine running at the same time might decide to
