Russ Cox 551ada4742 runtime: avoid allocation of internal panic values
If a fault happens in malloc, inevitably the next thing that happens
is a deadlock trying to allocate the panic value that says the fault
happened. Stop doing that, two ways.

First, reject panic in malloc just as we reject panic in garbage collection.

Second, runtime.panicstring was using an error implementation
backed by a Go string, so the interface held an allocated *string.
Since the actual errors are C strings, define a new error
implementation backed by a C char*, which needs no indirection
and therefore no allocation.

This second fix will avoid allocation for errors like nil panic derefs
or division by zero, so it is worth doing even though the first fix
should take care of faults during malloc.

Update #6419

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
