runtime: fix two garbage collector bugs

First, call clearcheckmarks immediately after changing checkmark,
so that there is less time when the checkmark flag and the bitmap
are inconsistent. The tiny gap between the two lines is fine, because
the world is stopped. Before, the gap was much larger and included
such code as "go bgsweep()", which allocated.

Second, modify gcphase only when the world is stopped.
As written, gcscan_m was changing gcphase from 0 to GCscan
and back to 0 while other goroutines were running.
Another goroutine running at the same time might decide to
sleep, see GCscan, call gcphasework, and start "helping" by
scanning its stack. That's fine, except that if gcphase flips back
to 0 as the goroutine calls scanblock, it will start draining the
work buffers prematurely.

Both of these were found wbshadow=2 (and a lot of hard work).
Eventually that will run automatically, but right now it still
doesn't quite work for all.bash, due to mmap conflicts with
pthread-created threads.

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.
