Austin Clements 510fd1350d runtime: enable GC assists ASAP
Currently the GC coordinator enables GC assists at the same time it
enables background mark workers, after the concurrent scan phase is
done. However, this means a rapidly allocating mutator has the entire
scan phase during which to allocate beyond the heap trigger and
potentially beyond the heap goal with no back-pressure from assists.
This prevents the feedback system that's supposed to keep the heap
size under the heap goal from doing its job.

Fix this by enabling mutator assists during the scan phase. This is
safe because the write barrier is already enabled and globally
acknowledged at this point.

There's still a very small window between when the heap size reaches
the heap trigger and when the GC coordinator is able to stop the world
during which the mutator can allocate unabated. This allows *very*
rapidly allocator mutators like TestTraceStress to still occasionally
exceed the heap goal by a small amount (~20 MB at most for
TestTraceStress). However, this seems like a corner case.

Fixes #11677.

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.
