runtime: eliminate externalthreadhandler This function is no longer used. Eliminating this actually fixes several problems: - It made assumptions about what registers memclrNoHeapPointers would preserve. Besides being an abstraction violation and lurking maintenance issue, this actively became a problem for regabi because the call to memclrNoHeapPointers now happens through an ABI wrapper, which is generated by the compiler and hence we can't easily control what registers it clobbers. - The amd64 implementation (at least), does not interact with the host ABI correctly. Notably, it doesn't save many of the registers that are callee-save in the host ABI but caller-save in the Go ABI. - It interacts strangely with the NOSPLIT checker because it allocates an entire M and G on its stack. It worked around this on arm64, and happened to do things the NOSPLIT checker couldn't track on 386 and amd64, and happened to be *4 bytes* below the limit on arm (so any addition to the m or g structs would cause a NOSPLIT failure). See CL 309031 for a more complete explanation. Fixes #45530. Updates #40724.
