Mutex is consistent with package sync, and when in the
unexported Go form it avoids having a conflcit between
the type (now mutex) and the function (lock).

We allocate scannable memory w/o type only in few places in runtime.
All these cases are not-performance critical (e.g. G or finq args buffer),
and in long term they all need to go away.
It's not worth it to have special code for this case in mallocgc.
So use special fake "notype" type for such allocations.

We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.
This CL does NOT make any representation changes.
Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.
A follow-up CL will change the representation by
changing the isdirectiface function. If that CL causes
problems, it will be easy to roll back.
Update #8405.

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.

during garbage collection, because it would make the
