runtime: check transition condition before triggering periodic GC
Currently sysmon triggers periodic GC if GC is not currently running and it's been long enough since the last GC. This misses some important conditions; for example, whether GC is enabled at all by GOGC. As a result, if GOGC is off, once we pass the timeout for periodic GC, sysmon will attempt to trigger a GC every 10ms. This GC will be a no-op because gcStart will check all of the appropriate conditions and do nothing, but it still goes through the motions of waking the forcegc goroutine and printing a gctrace line. Fix this by making sysmon call gcShouldStart to check *all* of the appropriate transition conditions before attempting to trigger a periodic GC. Fixes #19247.
