runtime: remove stack barriers during sweep

This adds a best-effort pass to remove stack barriers immediately
after the end of mark termination. This isn't necessary for the Go
runtime, but should help external tools that perform stack walks but
aren't aware of Go's stack barriers such as GDB, perf, and VTune.
(Though clearly they'll still have trouble unwinding stacks during
mark.)
