This means that pprof will no longer report profiles on OS X.
That's unfortunate, but the profiles were often wrong and, worse,
it was difficult to tell whether the profile was wrong or not.

The workarounds were making the scheduler more complex,
possibly caused a deadlock (see issue 5519), and did not actually
deliver reliable results.

It may be possible for adventurous users to apply a patch to
their kernels to get working results, or perhaps having no results
will encourage someone to do the work of creating a profiling
thread like on Windows. Issue 6047 has details.

Fixes #5519.
Fixes #6047.

checks: j<={len(string),cap(slice)}, j<=j (!), and i<=j.

Windows dynamic priority boosting assumes that a process has different types
of dedicated threads -- GUI, IO, computational, etc. Go processes use
equivalent threads that all do a mix of GUI, IO, computations, etc.
In such context dynamic priority boosting does nothing but harm, so turn it off.
In particular, if 2 goroutines do heavy IO on a server uniprocessor machine,
windows rejects to schedule timer thread for 2+ seconds when priority boosting is enabled.
