cmd/internal/gc: inline runtime.getg

This more closely restores what the old C runtime did.
(In C, g was an 'extern register' with the same effective
implementation as in this CL.)

On a late 2012 MacBookPro10,2, best of 5 old vs best of 5 new:

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
