For the conversion of the heap bitmap from 4-bit to 2-bit fields, I replaced heapBitsSetType with the dumbest thing that could possibly work: two atomic operations (atomicand8+atomicor8) per 2-bit field. This CL replaces that code with a proper implementation that avoids the atomics whenever possible. Benchmarks vs base CL (before the conversion to 2-bit heap bitmap) and vs Go 1.4 below. Compared to Go 1.4, SetTypePtr (a 1-pointer allocation) is 10ns slower because a race against the concurrent GC requires the use of an atomicor8 that used to be an ordinary write. This slowdown was present even in the base CL. Compared to both Go 1.4 and base, SetTypeNode8 (a 10-word allocation) is 10ns slower because it too needs a new atomic, because with the denser representation, the byte on the end of the allocation is now shared with the object next to it; this was not true with the 4-bit representation. Excluding these two (fundamental) slowdowns due to the use of atomics, the new code is noticeably faster than both Go 1.4 and the base CL. The next CL will reintroduce the ``typeDead'' optimization. Stats are from 5 runs on a MacBookPro10,2 (late 2012 Core i5).

These benchmarks were not present in Go 1.4 as distributed. The backport to Go 1.4 is in github.com/rsc/go's go14bench branch, commit 71d5ee5.
