Eliminating use of this extension makes it easier to port the Go runtime
to other compilers. This CL also disables the extension in cc to prevent
accidental use.

FlagNoGC is unused now.
FlagNoInvokeGC is unneeded as we don't invoke GC
on g0 and when holding locks anyway.
mal/malloc have very few uses and you never remember
the exact set of flags they use and the difference between them.
Moreover, eventually we need to give exact types to all allocations,
something what mal/malloc do not support.

Introduce the mFunction type to represent an mcall/onM-able function.
Name such functions using _m.

Several reasons:
1. Significantly simplifies runtime.
2. This code proved to be buggy.
3. Free is incompatible with bump-the-pointer allocation.
4. We want to write runtime in Go, Go does not have free.
5. Too much code to free env strings on startup.

This change introduces gomallocgc, a Go clone of mallocgc.
Only a few uses have been moved over, so there are still
lots of uses from C. Many of these C uses will be moved
over to Go (e.g. in slice.goc), but probably not all.
What should remain of C's mallocgc is an open question.

now that cgo2c can handle it,
merge x.c and x_go.cgo into
a single x.cgo, for x=float,malloc,sema.

not observed: do not use malloc to allocate stacks
during garbage collection, because it would make the
malloc data structures change underfoot.
