Russ Cox 5ecd9e34df runtime: do not treat mcall as a topofstack
I added mcall to this list in 2013 without explaining why.
(https://codereview.appspot.com/11085043/diff/61001/src/pkg/runtime/traceback_x86.c)
I suspect I was stopping crashes during profiling where the unwind
tried to walk up past mcall and got confused.

mcall is not something you can unwind past, because it switches
stacks, but it's also not something you should expect as a
standard top-of-stack frame. So if you do see it during say
a garbage collection stack walk, it would be important to crash
instead of silently stopping the walk prematurely.

This CL removes it from the topofstack list to avoid the silent stop.
Now that mcall is detected as SPWRITE, that will stop the
unwind (with a crash if encountered during GC, which we want).

This CL is part of a stack adding windows/arm64
support (#36439), intended to land in the Go 1.17 cycle.
This CL is, however, not windows/arm64-specific.
It is cleanup meant to make the port (and future ports) easier.
