Code to bring goroutines to a gc safepoint one at a time,
do some work such as scanning, and restart the
goroutine, and then move on to the next goroutine.
Currently this code does not do much useful work
but this infrastructure will be critical to future
concurrent GC work.

Fixed comments reviewers.

They were in proc.c mainly because there was no portable

move to traceback.go.

If system is busy burning cpu, it takes long time (about 300ms on
windows builders) to adjust prof thread priority. Once adjusted, prof
thread runs ahead of everyone else, but due to initial slowness, it
does not capture prof snapshots until start-up period is completed.

Change prof thread priority sooner, so it can start captures straight
away.

Previously, if all connections were busy, we would always
re-prepare the statement on the connection we were assigned from
the pool.  That meant that if all connections were busy most of the
time, the number of prepared statements for each connection would
keep increasing over time.

Instead, after getting a free connection, check to see if the
statement has already been prepared on it, and reuse the statement
handle if so.

It looks like this has just always been broken:
the race detector handles running Go code on g0 of the main thread
and on g0 of any extra threads created by non-Go code, but it does
not handle running Go code on g0 of non-main threads created by Go.
Handle that.

Should fix the race build failures on the dashboard.

We're running into this now because we are running more
and more Go code on g0.

Adding the #include to defs.c makes it get processed
by cmd/dist, which writes out Go equivalent for all the
C data structures defined in defs.c.

This in turn makes it necessary to define the Plink type,
used in os_plan9.h, in os_plan9.go. Rename it to _Plink
to avoid being exported.

This change fixes the last known false negative of the race detector --
detection of races between mutating atomic operations and non-atomic operations.
Race runtime already has functions for precise modelling of various atomic operations,
so this change just forwards all atomic ops to race runtime
instead of poor man modeling in sync/atomic package.
Performance is also improved -- full sync/atomic tests run in 60s instead of 85s now.

NO CODE CHANGES HERE

The first conversion was not complete.
This CL doesn't make any actual changes,
but it inserts the missing mprof.goc code
as comments so that the next CL will have
useful diffs.

To make the diffs a bit more useful, removed
all semicolons, ->, and runtime· prefixes as well.

Also corrected order of a few functions in mprof.go
to match original order in mprof.goc.

The [568]c compilers no longer support packed structs, so
using them with -cdefs no longer works.  Just commenting out
the test, rather than removing it, in case this needs to be
handled.  It may be that -cdefs can go away entirely in the
future, in which case so can this directory.
