This does introduce a Nodes where there wasn't one before,
but these are so rare that the performance impact is negligible.

Does not pass toolstash-check, but the only change is line numbers,
and the new line numbers appear preferable.

A few gc.Node ops may be shared across functions.
The compiler is (mostly) already careful to avoid mutating them.
However, from a concurrency perspective, replacing (say)
an empty list with an empty list still counts as a mutation.
One place this occurs is orderinit. Avoid it.

This requires fixing one spot where shared nodes were mutated.
It doesn't result in any functional or performance changes.

Round uses r+r < d to decide whether the remainder is
above or below half of d (to decide whether to round up or down).
This is wrong when r+r wraps negative, because it looks < d

No one will ever care about rounding to a multiple of
d > 2⁶² (about 146 years), but might as well get it right.

Prior to this CL, the SSA backend reported violations
of the //go:nowritebarrier annotation immediately.
This necessitated emitting errors during SSA compilation,
which is not compatible with a concurrent backend.

Instead, check for such violations later.
We already save the data required to do a late check
for violations of the //go:nowritebarrierrec annotation.
Use the same data, and check //go:nowritebarrier at the same time.

One downside to doing this is that now only a single
violation will be reported per function.
Given that this is for the runtime only,
and violations are rare, this seems an acceptable cost.

While we are here, remove several 'nerrors != 0' checks
that are rendered pointless.

We don't support stack frames over 2GB.
Rather than detect this during backend compilation,
check for it at the end of compilation.
This is arguably a more accurate check anyway,
since it takes into account the full frame,
including local stack, arguments, and arch-specific
rounding, although it's unlikely anyone would ever notice.

Also, rather than reporting the error right away,
take note of it and report it later, at the top level.
This is not relevant now, but it will help with making
the backend concurrent, as the append to the list of
oversized functions can be cheaply protected by a plain mutex.

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.

sweepone returns ^uintptr(0) when there are no more spans to *start*
sweeping, but there may be spans being swept concurrently at the time
and there's currently no efficient way to tell when the sweeper is
done sweeping all the spans.

We'll need this for concurrent runtime.GC(), so add a count of the
number of active sweepone calls to make it possible to block until
sweeping is truly done.

This is also useful for more accurately printing the gcpacertrace,
since that should be printed after all of the sweeping stats are in
(currently we can print it slightly too early).

Now that the gcMode is no longer involved in the GC trigger condition,
we can simplify the triggering of forced GCs. By making the trigger
condition for forced GCs true even if gcphase is not _GCoff, we don't
need any special case path in gcStart to ensure that forced GCs don't
get consolidated.

Currently the GC triggering condition is an awkward combination of the
gcMode (whether or not it's gcBackgroundMode) and a boolean
"forceTrigger" flag.

Replace this with a new gcTrigger type that represents the range of
transition predicates we need. This has several advantages:

1. We can remove the awkward logic that affects the trigger behavior
   based on the gcMode. Now gcMode purely controls whether to run a
   STW GC or not and the gcTrigger controls whether this is a forced
   GC that cannot be consolidated with other GC cycles.

2. We can lift the time-based triggering logic in sysmon to just
   another type of GC trigger and move the logic to the trigger test.

3. This sets us up to have a cycle count-based trigger, which we'll
   use to make runtime.GC trigger concurrent GC with the desired
   consolidation properties.

For #18216.

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.

Currently the heap profile is flushed by *either* gcSweep in STW mode
or by gcMarkTermination in concurrent mode. Simplify this by making
gcMarkTermination always flush the heap profile and by making gcSweep
do one extra flush (instead of two) in STW mode.

Currently we snapshot the heap profile just *after* mark termination
starts the world because it's a relatively expensive operation.
However, this means any alloc or free events that happen between
starting the world and snapshotting the heap profile can be accounted
to the wrong cycle. In the worst case, a free can be accounted to the
cycle before the alloc; if the heap is small, this can result
temporarily in a negative "in use" count in the profile.

Fix this without making STW more expensive by using a global heap
profile cycle counter. This lets us split up the operation into a two
parts: 1) a super-cheap snapshot operation that simply increments the
global cycle counter during STW, and 2) a more expensive cleanup
operation we can do after starting the world that frees up a slot in
all buckets for use by the next heap profile cycle.

Fixes #19311.

Currently memRecord has the same set of four fields repeated three
times. Pull these into a type and use this type three times. This
cleans up and simplifies the code a bit and will make it easier to
switch to a globally tracked heap profile cycle for #19311.

The symExport flag tells whether a symbol is in the export list
already or not (and it's also used to avoid being added to that
list). Exporting is based on that export list - no need to check
again.

Now that we have a nice predicate system, improve the tests performed
by TestMemStats. We add some more non-zero checks (now that we force a
GC, things like NumGC must be non-zero), checks for trivial boolean
fields, and a few more range checks.

Currently most TestMemStats failures dump the whole MemStats object if
anything is amiss without telling you what is amiss, or even which
field is wrong. This makes it hard to figure out what the actual
problem is.

Replace this with a reflection walk over MemStats and a map of
predicates to check. If one fails, we can construct a detailed and
descriptive error message. The predicates are a direct translation of
the current tests.

This CL introduces code to store cmd/link "windowsgui" -H flag

removed in the next CL.

This CL also includes 2 changes to code where distinction
