Austin Clements 9ffbdabdb0 runtime: make runtime.GC() trigger a concurrent GC
Currently runtime.GC() triggers a STW GC. For common uses in tests and
benchmarks, it doesn't matter whether it's STW or concurrent, but for
uses in servers for things like collecting heap profiles and
controlling memory footprint, this pause can be a bit problem for
latency.

This changes runtime.GC() to trigger a concurrent GC. In order to
remain as close as possible to its current meaning, we define it to
always perform a full mark/sweep GC cycle before returning (even if
that means it has to finish up a cycle we're in the middle of first)
and to publish the heap profile as of the triggered mark termination.
While it must perform a full cycle, simultaneous runtime.GC() calls
can be consolidated into a single full cycle.

Fixes #18216.
