Some C APIs require the use or structures that contain pointers to buffers (iovec, io_uring, ...). The pointer passing rules would require that these buffers are allocated in C memory and to process this data with Go libraries it would need to be copied. In order to provide a zero-copy way to use these C APIs, this CL implements a Pinner API that allows to pin Go objects, which guarantees that the garbage collector does not move these objects while pinned. This allows to relax the pointer passing rules so that pinned pointers can be stored in C allocated memory or can be contained in Go memory that is passed to C functions. The Pin() method accepts pointers to objects of any type and unsafe.Pointer. Slices and arrays can be pinned by calling Pin() with the pointer to the first element. Pinning of maps is not supported. If the GC collects unreachable Pinner holding pinned objects it panics. If Pin() is called with the other non-pointer types it panics as well. Performance considerations: This change has no impact on execution time on existing code, because checks are only done in code paths, that would panic otherwise. The memory footprint on existing code is one pointer per memory span.
