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.
