Michael Anthony Knyszek 7ed7669c0d runtime: ensure mheap lock stack growth invariant is maintained
Currently there's an invariant in the runtime wherein the heap lock
can only be acquired on the system stack, otherwise a self-deadlock
could occur if the stack grows while the lock is held.

This invariant is upheld and documented in a number of situations (e.g.
allocManual, freeManual) but there are other places where the invariant
is either not maintained at all which risks self-deadlock (e.g.
setGCPercent, gcResetMarkState, allocmcache) or is maintained but
undocumented (e.g. gcSweep, readGCStats_m).

This change adds go:systemstack to any function that acquires the heap
lock or adds a systemstack(func() { ... }) around the critical section,
where appropriate. It also documents the invariant on (*mheap).lock
directly and updates repetitive documentation to refer to that comment.

Fixes #32105.
