runtime/interrupt: add Checkpoint type

This type can be used to jump back to a previous position in a program
from inside an interrupt. This is useful for baremetal systems that
implement wfi but not wfe, and therefore have no easy (race-free) way to
wait until a flag gets changed inside an interrupt. This is an issue on
RISC-V, where this is racy (the interrupt might happen after the check
but before the wfi instruction):

    configureInterrupt()
    for flag.Load() != 0 {
        riscv.Asm("wfi")
    }
