Change two-bit stack map entries to encode:
0 = dead
1 = scalar
2 = pointer
3 = multiword
If multiword, the two-bit entry for the following word encodes:
0 = string
1 = slice
2 = iface
3 = eface
That way, during stack scanning we can check if a string
is zero length or a slice has zero capacity. We can avoid
following the contained pointer in those cases. It is safe
to do so because it can never be dereferenced, and it is
desirable to do so because it may cause false retention
of the following block in memory.
Slice feature turned off until issue 7564 is fixed.

The runtime tests are executed 4 times in all.bash
and there is currently a 5-second delay each time.

And document it explicitly, even though it already said
it wasn't guaranteed.

Not scanning the stack by frames means we are reintroducing
a few false positives into the collection. Run the finalizer registration
in its own goroutine so that stack is guaranteed to be out of
consideration in a later collection.
This is working around a regression from yesterday's tip, but
it's not a regression from Go 1.1.

Originally the requirement was f(x) where f's argument is
exactly x's type.
CL 11858043 relaxed the requirement in a non-standard
way: f's argument must be exactly x's type or interface{}.
If we're going to relax the requirement, it should be done
in a way consistent with the rest of Go. This CL allows f's
argument to have any type for which x is assignable;
that's the same requirement the compiler would impose
if compiling f(x) directly.
Fixes#5368.
