runtime: get rid of the settype buffer and lock.

MCaches	now hold a MSpan for each sizeclass which they have
exclusive access to allocate from, so no lock is needed.

Modifying the heap bitmaps also no longer requires a cas.

runtime.free gets more expensive.  But we don't use it
much any more.

It's not much faster on 1 processor, but it's a lot
faster on multiple processors.
