The change is a preparation for the new scheduler.
It introduces runtime.park() function,
that will atomically unlock the mutex and park the goroutine.
It will allow to remove the racy readyonstop flag
that is difficult to implement w/o the global scheduler mutex.

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).

This looks like it is just moving some code from
time to runtime (and translating it to C), but the
runtime can do a better job managing the goroutines,
and it needs this functionality for its own maintenance
(for example, for the garbage collector to hand back
unused memory to the OS on a time delay).
Might as well have just one copy of the timer logic,
and runtime can't depend on time, so vice versa.
It also unifies Sleep, NewTicker, and NewTimer behind
one mechanism, so that there are no claims that one
is more efficient than another. (For example, today
people recommend using time.After instead of time.Sleep
to avoid blocking an OS thread.)

runtime knows how to get the time of day
without allocating memory.
