runtime: remove legacy eager write barrier

Now that the buffered write barrier is implemented for all
architectures, we can remove the old eager write barrier
implementation. This CL removes the implementation from the runtime,
support in the compiler for calling it, and updates some compiler
tests that relied on the old eager barrier support. It also makes sure
that all of the useful comments from the old write barrier
implementation still have a place to live.

Fixes #22460.

Updates #21640 since this fixes the layering concerns of the write
barrier (but not the other things in that issue).
