runtime: revert signal stack mlocking Go 1.14 included a (rather awful) workaround for a Linux kernel bug that corrupted vector registers on x86 CPUs during signal delivery (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205663). This bug was introduced in Linux 5.2 and fixed in 5.3.15, 5.4.2 and all 5.5 and later kernels. The fix was also back-ported by major distros. This workaround was necessary, but had unfortunate downsides, including causing Go programs to exceed the mlock ulimit in many configurations (#37436). We're reasonably confident that by the Go 1.16 release, the number of systems running affected kernels will be vanishingly small. Hence, this CL removes this workaround. This effectively reverts CLs 209597 (version parser), 209899 (mlock top of signal stack), 210299 (better failure message), 223121 (soft mlock failure handling), and 244059 (special-case patched Ubuntu kernels). The one thing we keep is the osArchInit function. It's empty everywhere now, but is a reasonable hook to have. Updates #35326, #35777 (the original register corruption bugs). Updates #40184 (request to revert in 1.15). Fixes #35979.
