runtime: grow stack by copying
On stack overflow, if all frames on the stack are copyable, we copy the frames to a new stack twice as large as the old one. During GC, if a G is using less than 1/4 of its stack, copy the stack to a stack half its size. TODO - Do something about C frames. When a C frame is in the stack segment, it isn't copyable. We allocate a new segment in this case. - For idempotent C code, we can abort it, copy the stack, then retry. I'm working on a separate CL for this. - For other C code, we can raise the stackguard to the lowest Go frame so the next call that Go frame makes triggers a copy, which will then succeed. - Pick a starting stack size? The plan is that eventually we reach a point where the stack contains only copyable frames. LGTM=rsc R=dvyukov, rsc CC=golang-codereviews https://golang.org/cl/54650044
