Austin Clements c8bd293e56 runtime: eliminate floating garbage estimate
Currently when we compute the trigger for the next GC, we do it based
on an estimate of the reachable heap size at the start of the GC
cycle, which is itself based on an estimate of the floating garbage.
This was introduced by 4655aad to fix a bad feedback loop that allowed
the heap to grow to many times the true reachable size.

However, this estimate gets easily confused by rapidly allocating
applications, and, worse it's different than the heap size the trigger
controller uses to compute the trigger itself. This results in the
trigger controller often thinking that GC finished before it started.
Since this would be a pretty great outcome from it's perspective, it
sets the trigger for the next cycle as close to the next goal as
possible (which is limited to 95% of the goal).

Furthermore, the bad feedback loop this estimate originally fixed
seems not to happen any more, suggesting it was fixed more correctly
by some other change in the mean time. Finally, with the change to
allocate black, it shouldn't even be theoretically possible for this
bad feedback loop to occur.

Hence, eliminate the floating garbage estimate and simply consider the
reachable heap to be the marked heap. This harms overall throughput
slightly for allocation-heavy benchmarks, but significantly improves
mutator availability.

Fixes #12204. This brings the average trigger in this benchmark from
0.95 (the cap) to 0.7 and the active GC utilization from ~90% to ~45%.

Updates #14951. This makes the trigger controller much better behaved,
so it pulls the trigger lower if assists are consuming a lot of CPU
like it's supposed to, increasing mutator availability.

XBenchGarbage-12  2.21ms ± 1%  2.28ms ± 3%  +3.29%  (p=0.000 n=17+17)

Some of this slow down we paid for in earlier commits. Relative to the
start of the series to switch to allocate-black (the parent of "count
black allocations toward scan work"), the garbage benchmark is 2.62%
slower.

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.
