This begins the conversion of the centralized GC coordinator to a decentralized state machine by introducing the internal API that triggers the first state transition from _GCoff to _GCmark (or _GCmarktermination). This change introduces the transition lock, the off->mark transition condition (which is very similar to shouldtriggergc()), and the general structure of a state transition. Since we're doing this conversion in stages, it then falls back to the GC coordinator to actually execute the cycle. We'll start moving logic out of the GC coordinator and in to transition functions next. This fixes a minor bug in gcstoptheworld debug mode where passing the heap trigger once could trigger multiple STW GCs. Updates #11970.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
