runtime: remove GODEBUG=gctrace=2 mode

Browse Source 
It turns out if you set GODEBUG=gctrace=2, it enables an obscure
debugging mode that, in addition to printing gctrace statistics, also
does a second STW GC following each regular GC. This debugging mode
has long since lost its value (you could maybe use it to analyze
floating garbage, except that we don't print the gctrace line on the
second GC), and it interferes substantially with the operation of the
GC by messing up the statistics used to schedule GCs.

It's also a source of mark termination GC work when we're in
concurrent GC mode, so it's going to interfere with eliminating mark
2. And it's going to get in the way of unifying STW and concurrent GC.

This CL removes this debugging mode.

Updates #26903. This is preparation for eliminating mark 2 and
unifying STW GC and concurrent GC.
