Austin Clements 27ed1fcb04 runtime: on Plan 9, zero memory returned to the brk by sysFree
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.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
