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).

'themoduledata' doesn't really make sense now we support multiple moduledata
objects.

In preparation for being able to run a go program that has code
in several objects, this changes from having several linker
symbols used by the runtime into having one linker symbol that
points at a structure containing the needed data. Multiple
object support will construct a linked list of such structures.
A follow up will initialize the slices in the themoduledata
structure directly from the linker but I was aiming for a minimal
diff for now.

Previously, the memory allocator on Plan 9 did
not free memory properly. It was only able to
free the last allocated block.
This change implements a variant of the
Kernighan & Ritchie memory allocator with
coalescing and splitting.
The most notable differences are:
- no header is prefixing the allocated blocks, since
the size is always specified when calling sysFree,
- the free list is nil-terminated instead of circular.

Plan 9's sysFree has an optimization where if the object being freed
is the last object allocated, it will roll back the brk to allow the
memory to be reused by sysAlloc. However, it does not zero this
"returned" memory, so as a result, sysAlloc can return non-zeroed
memory after a sysFree. This leads to corruption because the runtime
assumes sysAlloc returns zeroed memory.
Fix this by zeroing the memory returned by sysFree.
Fixes#9846.

The following line in sysFree:
n += (n + memRound) &^ memRound
doubles value of n (n += n).
Which is wrong and can lead to memory corruption.
