runtime: changes to g->atomicstatus (nee status) to support concurrent GC
Every change to g->atomicstatus is now done atomically so that we can ensure that all gs pass through a gc safepoint on demand. This allows the GC to move from one phase to the next safely. In some phases the stack will be scanned. This CL only deals with the infrastructure that allows g->atomicstatus to go from one state to another. Future CLs will deal with scanning and monitoring what phase the GC is in. The major change was to moving to using a Gscan bit to indicate that the status is in a scan state. The only bug fix was in oldstack where I wasn't moving to a Gcopystack state in order to block scanning until the new stack was in place. The proc.go file is waiting for an atomic load instruction.
