runtime: check for updated arena_end overflow

Currently, if an allocation is large enough that arena_end + size
overflows (which is not hard to do on 32-bit), we go ahead and call
sysReserve with the impossible base and length and depend on this to
either directly fail because the kernel can't possibly fulfill the
requested mapping (causing mheap.sysAlloc to return nil) or to succeed
with a mapping at some other address which will then be rejected as
outside the arena.

In order to make this less subtle, less dependent on the kernel
getting all of this right, and to eliminate the hopeless system call,
add an explicit overflow check.

Updates #13143. This real issue has been fixed by 0de59c2, but this is
a belt-and-suspenders improvement on top of that. It was uncovered by
my symbolic modeling of that bug.

The Go Programming Language

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

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


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.
