Michael Anthony Knyszek c915215af6 runtime: add the disablethp GODEBUG setting
Go 1.21.1 and Go 1.22 have ceased working around an issue with Linux
kernel defaults for transparent huge pages that can result in excessive
memory overheads. (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93111)

Many Linux distributions disable huge pages altogether these days, so
this problem isn't quite as far-reaching as it used to be. Also, the
problem only affects Go programs with very particular memory usage
patterns.

That being said, because the runtime used to actively deal with this
problem (but with some unpredictable behavior), it's preventing users
that don't have a lot of control over their execution environment from
upgrading to Go beyond Go 1.20.

This change adds a GODEBUG to smooth over the transition. The GODEBUG
setting disables transparent huge pages for all heap memory on Linux,
which is much more predictable than restoring the old behavior.

Fixes #64332.
