Ayke van Laethem 67de8b490d gc: use raw stack access whenever possible
The only architecture that actually needs special support for scanning
the stack is WebAssembly. All others allow raw access to the stack with
a small bit of assembly. Therefore, don't manually keep track of all
these objects on the stack manually and instead just use conservative
stack scanning.

This results in a massive code size decrease in the affected targets
(only tested linux/amd64 for code size) - sometimes around 33%. It also
allows for future improvements such as using proper stackful goroutines.

Ayke van Laethem 6917faabf5 runtime: fix GC to take goroutines into account
This fix is needed because with the new task-based scheduler, the
current stack pointer may not be on the system stack.

Ayke van Laethem 54169c714f all: use baremetal build tag
This simplifies adding more baremetal targets, like a GameBoy Advance,
or baremetal x86 for unikernels.
