Currently runtime.GC() triggers a STW GC. For common uses in tests and benchmarks, it doesn't matter whether it's STW or concurrent, but for uses in servers for things like collecting heap profiles and controlling memory footprint, this pause can be a bit problem for latency. This changes runtime.GC() to trigger a concurrent GC. In order to remain as close as possible to its current meaning, we define it to always perform a full mark/sweep GC cycle before returning (even if that means it has to finish up a cycle we're in the middle of first) and to publish the heap profile as of the triggered mark termination. While it must perform a full cycle, simultaneous runtime.GC() calls can be consolidated into a single full cycle. Fixes #18216.
