Ayke van Laethem 60f8a62978 all: add support for multicore scheduler
This commit adds support for a scheduler that runs a scheduler on all
available cores. It is meant to be used on baremetal systems with a
fixed number of cores, such as the RP2040.

The initial implementation adds support for multicore scheduling to the
riscv-qemu target as a convenient testing target. This means that this
new multicore scheduler is tested in CI, including a bunch of standard
library tests (`make tinygo-test-baremetal`). This should ensure the new
scheduler is reasonably well tested before trying to use it on
harder-to-debug targets like the RP2040.

Ayke van Laethem 2588bf7fa0 internal/task: add cooperative implementation of Futex
See the code comments for details. But in short, this implements a futex
for the cooperative scheduler (that is single threaded and
non-reentrant). Similar implementations can be made for basically every
other operating system, and even WebAssembly with the threading
(actually: atomics) proposal.
Using this basic futex implementation means we can use the same
implementation for synchronisation primitives on cooperative and
multicore systems.
