runtime: add a test for getg with thread switch

With gccgo, if we generate getg inlined, the backend may cache
the address of the TLS variable, which will become invalid after
a thread switch.

Currently there is no known bug for this. But if we didn't
implement this carefully, we may get subtle bugs. This CL adds a
test that will fail loudly if this is wrong. (See also
https://go.googlesource.com/gofrontend/+/refs/heads/master/libgo/runtime/proc.c#333
and an incorrect attempt CL 185337.)

Note: at least on Linux/AMD64, even with an incorrect
implementation, this only fails if the test is compiled with
-fPIC, which is not the default setting for gccgo test suite. So
some manual work is needed. Maybe we could extend the test suite
to run the runtime test with more settings (e.g. PIC and static).
