runtime: properly frame panic values in tracebacks
This CL causes the printing of panic values to ensure that all newlines in the output are immediately followed by a tab, so that there is no way for a maliciously crafted panic value to fool a program attempting to parse the traceback into thinking that the panic value is in fact a goroutine stack.

## Runtime {#runtime}
+
+The traceback printed by the runtime after an unhandled panic or other
+fatal error now indents the second and subsequent lines of the error
+message (for example, the argument to panic) by a single tab, so that
+it can be unambiguously distinguished from the stack trace of the
+first goroutine. See [#64590](/issue/64590) for discussion.
