The runtime has historically held two dedicated values g (current goroutine)
and m (current thread) in 'extern register' slots (TLS on x86, real registers
backed by TLS on ARM).
This CL removes the extern register m; code now uses g->m.
On ARM, this frees up the register that formerly held m (R9).
This is important for NaCl, because NaCl ARM code cannot use R9 at all.

This lays the groundwork for making Go robust when the system's
calendar time jumps around. All input values to the runtimeTimer
struct now use the runtime clock as a common reference point.
This affects net.Conn.Set[Read|Write]Deadline(), time.Sleep(),
time.Timer, etc. Under normal conditions, behavior is unchanged.
Each platform and architecture's implementation of runtime·nanotime()
should be modified to use a monotonic system clock when possible.
Platforms/architectures modified and tested with monotonic clock:
linux/x86 - clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)

This provides a way to generate core dumps when people need them.
The settings are:
GOTRACEBACK=0 no traceback on panic, just exit
GOTRACEBACK=1 default - traceback on panic, then exit
GOTRACEBACK=2 traceback including runtime frames on panic, then exit
GOTRACEBACK=crash traceback including runtime frames on panic, then crash

When we release memory to the OS, if the OS doesn't want us
to release it (for example, because the program executed
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE)), madvise will fail. Ignore the failure
instead of crashing.

Signal handlers are global resources but many language
environments (Go, C++ at Google, etc) assume they have sole
ownership of a particular handler. Signal handlers in
mixed-language applications must therefore be robust against
unexpected delivery of certain signals, such as SIGPROF.
The default Go signal handler runtime·sigtramp assumes that it
will never be called on a non-Go thread, but this assumption
is violated by when linking in C++ code that spawns threads.
Specifically, the handler asserts the thread has an associated
"m" (Go scheduler).
This CL is a very simple workaround: discard SIGPROF delivered to non-Go threads. runtime.badsignal(int32) now receives the signal number; if it returns without panicking (e.g. sig==SIGPROF) the signal is discarded.
I don't think there is any really satisfactory solution to the
problem of signal-based profiling in a mixed-language
application. It's not only the issue of handler clobbering,
but also that a C++ SIGPROF handler called in a Go thread
can't unwind the Go stack (and vice versa). The best we can
hope for is not crashing.
Note:
- I've ported this to all POSIX platforms, except ARM-linux which already ignores unexpected signals on m-less threads.
- I've avoided tail-calling runtime.badsignal because AFAICT the 6a/6l don't support it.
- I've avoided hoisting 'push sig' (common to both function calls) because it makes the code harder to read.
- Fixed an (apparently incorrect?) docstring.

When a very low-level system call that should never fail
does fail, we call notok, which crashes the program.
Often, we are then left with only the program counter as
information about the crash, and it is in notok.
Instead, inline calls to notok (it is just one instruction
on most systems) so that the program counter will
tell us which system call is unhappy.

Restore package os/signal, with new API:
Notify replaces Incoming, allowing clients
to ask for certain signals only. Also, signals
go to everyone who asks, not just one client.
This could plausibly move into package os now
that there are no magic side effects as a result
of the import.
Update runtime for new API: move common Unix
signal handling code into signal_unix.c.
(It's so easy to do this now that we don't have
to edit Makefiles!)
Tested on darwin,linux 386,amd64.
Fixes#1266.

Collapse the arch,os-specific directories into the main directory
by renaming xxx/foo.c to foo_xxx.c, and so on.
There are no substantial edits here, except to the Makefile.
The assumption is that the Go tool will #define GOOS_darwin
and GOARCH_amd64 and will make any file named something
like signals_darwin.h available as signals_GOOS.h during the
build. This replaces what used to be done with -I$(GOOS).
There is still work to be done to make runtime build with
standard tools, but this is a big step. After this we will have
to write a script to generate all the generated files so they
can be checked in (instead of generated during the build).
