Currently, the concurrent mark phase is performed by the main GC goroutine. Prior to the previous commit enabling preemption, this caused marking to always consume 1/GOMAXPROCS of the available CPU time. If GOMAXPROCS=1, this meant background GC would consume 100% of the CPU (effectively a STW). If GOMAXPROCS>4, background GC would use less than the goal of 25%. If GOMAXPROCS=4, background GC would use the goal 25%, but if the mutator wasn't using the remaining 75%, background marking wouldn't take advantage of the idle time. Enabling preemption in the previous commit made GC miss CPU targets in completely different ways, but set us up to bring everything back in line. This change replaces the fixed GC goroutine with per-P background mark goroutines. Once started, these goroutines don't go in the standard run queues; instead, they are scheduled specially such that the time spent in mutator assists and the background mark goroutines totals 25% of the CPU time available to the program. Furthermore, this lets background marking take advantage of idle Ps, which significantly boosts GC performance for applications that under-utilize the CPU. This requires also changing how time is reported for gctrace, so this change splits the concurrent mark CPU time into assist/background/idle scanning. This also requires increasing the size of the StackRecord slice used in a GoroutineProfile test.
