all: remove 'extern register M *m' from runtime

Browse source 
The runtime has historically held two dedicated values g (current goroutine)
and m (current thread) in 'extern register' slots (TLS on x86, real registers
backed by TLS on ARM).

This CL removes the extern register m; code now uses g->m.

On ARM, this frees up the register that formerly held m (R9).
This is important for NaCl, because NaCl ARM code cannot use R9 at all.

The Go 1 macrobenchmarks (those with per-op times >= 10 µs) are unaffected:

Minux previous reported larger variations, but these were caused by
run-to-run noise, not repeatable slowdowns.

Actual code changes by Minux.
I only did the docs and the benchmarking.
