Austin Clements c19759aa48 runtime: eliminate externalthreadhandler
This function is no longer used.

Eliminating this actually fixes several problems:

- It made assumptions about what registers memclrNoHeapPointers would
  preserve. Besides being an abstraction violation and lurking
  maintenance issue, this actively became a problem for regabi because
  the call to memclrNoHeapPointers now happens through an ABI wrapper,
  which is generated by the compiler and hence we can't easily control
  what registers it clobbers.

- The amd64 implementation (at least), does not interact with the host
  ABI correctly. Notably, it doesn't save many of the registers that
  are callee-save in the host ABI but caller-save in the Go ABI.

- It interacts strangely with the NOSPLIT checker because it allocates
  an entire M and G on its stack. It worked around this on arm64, and
  happened to do things the NOSPLIT checker couldn't track on 386 and
  amd64, and happened to be *4 bytes* below the limit on arm (so any
  addition to the m or g structs would cause a NOSPLIT failure). See
  CL 309031 for a more complete explanation.

Fixes #45530.
Updates #40724.
