It's okay to preempt at ordinary function calls because
compilers arrange that there are no live registers to save
on entry to the function call.
The software floating point routines are function calls
masquerading as individual machine instructions. They are
expected to keep all the registers intact. In particular,
they are expected not to clobber all the floating point
registers.
The floating point registers are kept per-M, because they
are not live at non-preemptive goroutine scheduling events,
and so keeping them per-M reduces the number of 132-byte
register blocks we are keeping in memory.
Because they are per-M, allowing the goroutine to be
rescheduled during software floating point simulation
would mean some other goroutine could overwrite the registers
or perhaps the goroutine would continue running on a different
M entirely.
Disallow preemption during the software floating point
routines to make sure that a function full of floating point
instructions has the same floating point registers throughout
its execution.

I used just enough of the data provided by Matt in Issue 5915 to trigger
issue 5915. As luck would have it, using slightly less of it triggered
issue 5962.
Fixes#5915.

Also move chatty recent additions to -v -v.
For what it's worth:
$ go build -o /dev/null -ldflags -v cmd/go
...
0.87 pclntab=1110836 bytes, funcdata total 69700 bytes
...
$
This broke the ELF builds last time because I tried to dedup
the funcdata in case the same funcdata was pointed at by
multiple functions. That doesn't currently happen, so I've
removed that test.
If we start doing bitmap coalescing we'll need to figure out
how to measure the size more carefully, but I think at that
point the bitmaps will be an extra indirection away from the
funcdata anyway, so the dedup I used before wouldn't help.

We see timeouts in these tests on some platforms,
but not on the others. The hypothesis is that
the problematic platforms are slow uniprocessors.
Stack traces do not suggest that the process
is completely hang, and it is able to schedule
the alarm goroutine. And if it actually hangs,
we still will be able to detect that.

With dup3, we can avoid an extra system call on some machines
while holding syscall.ForkLock. Currently we have to
syscall.Dup + syscall.CloseOnExec.
On machines with Linux and a new enough kernel, this can just
be dup3.

1) Explain a[i] and a[i:j] where a is of type *A as
shortcut for (*a)[i] and (*a)[i:j], respectively.
2) Together with 1), because len() of nil slices is
well defined, there's no need to special case nil
operands anymore.
3) The result of indexing or slicing a constant string
is always a non-constant byte or string value.
4) The result of slicing an untyped string is a value
of type string.
5) If the operand of a valid slice a[i:j] is nil (i, j
must be 0 for it to be valid - this already follows
from the in-range rules), the result is a nil slice.

Preemption during the software floating point code
could cause m (R9) to change, so that when the
original registers were restored at the end of the
floating point handler, the changed and correct m
would be replaced by the old and incorrect m.

Sysmon thread parks if no goroutines are running (runtime.sched.npidle ==
runtime.gomaxprocs).
Currently it's unparked when a goroutine enters syscall, it was enough
to retake P's from blocking syscalls.
But it's not enough for reliable goroutine preemption. We need to ensure that
sysmon runs if any goroutines are running.
