runtime: delineate which memstats are system stats with a type
This change modifies the type of several mstats fields to be a new type:
sysMemStat. This type has the same structure as the fields used to have.
The purpose of this change is to make it very clear which stats may be
used in various functions for accounting (usually the platform-specific
sys* functions, but there are others). Currently there's an implicit
understanding that the *uint64 value passed to these functions is some
kind of statistic whose value is atomically managed. This understanding
isn't inherently problematic, but we're about to change how some stats
(which currently use mSysStatInc and mSysStatDec) work, so we want to
make it very clear what the various requirements are around "sysStat".
This change also removes mSysStatInc and mSysStatDec in favor of a
method on sysMemStat. Note that those two functions were originally
written the way they were because atomic 64-bit adds required a valid G
on ARM, but this hasn't been the case for a very long time (since
golang.org/cl/14204, but even before then it wasn't clear if mutexes
required a valid G anymore). Today we implement 64-bit adds on ARM with
a spinlock table.
