Because profile labels are copied from the goroutine into the tag
buffer by the signal handler, there's a carefully-crafted set of race
detector annotations to create the necessary happens-before edges
between setting a goroutine's profile label and retrieving it from the
profile tag buffer.
Given the constraints of the signal handler, we have to approximate
the true synchronization behavior. Currently, that approximation is
too weak.
Ideally, runtime_setProfLabel would perform a store-release on
&getg().labels and copying each label into the profile would perform a
load-acquire on &getg().labels. This would create the necessary
happens-before edges through each individual g.labels object.
Since we can't do this in the signal handler, we instead synchronize
on a "labelSync" global. The problem occurs with the following
sequence:
1. Goroutine 1 calls setProfLabel, which does a store-release on
labelSync.
2. Goroutine 2 calls setProfLabel, which does a store-release on
labelSync.
3. Goroutine 3 reads the profile, which does a load-acquire on
labelSync.
The problem is that the load-acquire only synchronizes with the *most
recent* store-release to labelSync, and the two store-releases don't
synchronize with each other. So, once goroutine 3 touches the label
set by goroutine 1, we report a race.
The solution is to use racereleasemerge. This is like a
read-modify-write, rather than just a store-release. Each RMW of
labelSync in runtime_setProfLabel synchronizes with the previous RMW
of labelSync, and this ultimately carries forward to the load-acquire,
so it synchronizes with *all* setProfLabel operations, not just the
most recent.

If g1 sets its labels and then they are copied into a profile buffer
and then g2 reads the profile buffer and inspects the labels,
the race detector must understand that g1's recording of the labels
happens before g2's use of the labels. Make that so.
Fixes race test failure in CL 39613.

The existing CPU profiling buffer is a slice of uintptr, but we want to
start including profiling label data in the profiles, and those labels need
to be pointers in order to let them describe rich information.
This CL implements a new profBuf type that holds both a slice of uint64
for data and a slice of unsafe.Pointer for profiling labels (aka tags).
Making the runtime use these buffers will happen in followup CLs.
