runtime: reject onM calls from gsignal stack

The implementation and use patterns of onM assume
that they run on either the m->curg or m->g0 stack.

Calling onM from m->gsignal has two problems:

(1) When not on g0, onM switches to g0 and then "back" to curg.
If we didn't start at curg, bad things happen.

(2) The use of scalararg/ptrarg to pass C arguments and results
assumes that there is only one onM call at a time.
If a gsignal starts running, it may have interrupted the
setup/teardown of the args for an onM on the curg or g0 stack.
Using scalararg/ptrarg itself would smash those.

We can fix (1) by remembering what g was running before the switch.

We can fix (2) by requiring that uses of onM that might happen
on a signal handling stack must save the old scalararg/ptrarg
and restore them after the call, instead of zeroing them.
The only sane way to do this is to introduce a separate
onM_signalsafe that omits the signal check, and then if you
see a call to onM_signalsafe you know the surrounding code
must preserve the old scalararg/ptrarg values.
(The implementation would be that onM_signalsafe just calls
fn if on the signal stack or else jumps to onM. It's not necessary
to have two whole copies of the function.)

(2) is not a problem if the caller and callee are both Go and
a closure is used instead of the scalararg/ptrarg slots.

For now, I think we can avoid calling onM from code executing
on gsignal stacks, so just reject it.

In the long term, (2) goes away (as do the scalararg/ptrarg slots)
once everything is in Go, and at that point fixing (1) would be
trivial and maybe worth doing just for regularity.
